Southern California vs Northern California. Two tracks. Two classes. Two winners.
Global Time Attack is proud to announce the SDC vs NorCal Time Attack Battle, a new regional rivalry set to take place across two major events during the 2026 season.
The challenge has been issued by SoCal Drivers Club (SDC), sending a team of Southern California time attack drivers to go head-to-head against Northern California teams including Turn8 Racing, Lightspeed, and SpeedSF.
The two-round battle will take place at two of California’s most iconic circuits:

The competition will take place in Street Class and Limited Class, two of the most competitive categories in time attack.
Drivers will earn points based on their finishing positions at each round, with points awarded to the top 10 finishers in each class.
