About this event
GVC Advanced Driver Time Attack at Pineview Run
This year we decided to mix up our events at Pineview Run and reformat into Time Attack events utilizing the track's built in timing system. The events will provide up to three times as many timed laps as the previous autocross format. For our July event, due to the uncertainty of the COVIC pandemic we unfortunately have to make this event an Advanced Driver event only. There will be no in car instruction available, and no loaner helmets available. Drivers who are qualified for this event should have at least a couple HPDE events under their belt, and/or several previous days at Pineview, or many autocross events. To facilitate our advanced drivers, we will allow limited passing, and open lapping sessions. If you are not sure if you are qualified, or have any questions about the format please contact the registrar. We are working out the exact details of this event but you will get lots of seat time on a fun and challenging track!
Transponders are available for this event and we will be tracking times throughout the day. This is an optional extra, you do not need to have your times recorded if you don't wish to, it's a great opportunity to dial your car in or simply get some seat time if you're not the competitive type.
Lunch will not be provided as part of this event. Pineview may make a lunch available at an additional cost, but please plan on bringing your own lunch, and plenty to drink.
The track is a 1.1 mile layout with turns and elevation changes. Run groups will consist of 4 or 5 drivers at a time, grouped by speed the best we can. Run group times/formats will be determined based on registration. There will be a 40 driver limit for this event, so early registration is recommended.
GVC BMWCCA is fully committed to running safe and entertaining events, so due to the rapidly changing nature of the COVID pandemic we will be sending out any additional information as needed as the event approaches. Please be prepared to practice social distancing, wearing a mask, bringing hand sanitizer, and any other "standard" safety procedures that may or may not be in place at the end of July. We will be enforcing recommended measures to keep our staff and participants healthy.

- Firm Brake Pedal
- No play in Wheel bearings
- Adequate tire tread (no cord showing)
