Making the announcement at this year’s Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and Global Time Attack joins GRIDLIFE as the founding members of the North American Time Attack Council (NATA) Council.

The NATA Council is a leadership committee dedicated to the development, evolution, and success of time-based, competitive motorsport events such as Time Attack and Time Trials. The goal of the Council is the progression of motorsports through the consultation and collaboration of its members in the planning and execution of programs and events.

NATA and its member organizations seek to represent the interests of all drivers, from beginner to professional competitor, in order to ensure access, inclusivity, consistency and a high quality driver experience.

“SCCA is thrilled to formally align with GRIDLIFE and Global Time Attack. Each represent the best of what the sport can be and the shared commitment to progression and development is inspiring. The NATA not only creates strength between the three, but as the SCCA program is in its infancy, this is an amazing opportunity to learn from the best in the industry,” SCCA Director of Marketing and Experiential Programs Heyward Wagner said.

In related news, the SCCA’s Board of Directors approved the rule set to create GT-X, a new Summit Racing Equipment Road Racing class designed to capture internationally-homologated cars and tube-frame cars outside of the current available classes. Eligible cars will include those homologated to FIA GT3, SRO GT4 and TCR specifications.

The GT-X class will be eligible at all Regional, Majors and Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour events in 2019. That will not include the 2019 SCCA National Championship Runoffs, although it could be considered for future Runoffs events.

SCCA has obtained permission to use the current rule sets through their respective organizing bodies, including the Federation Internationale de L'Automobile (FIA), Stephane Ratel Organization (SRO) and World Sporting Consulting (WSC).
