GRIDLIFE & Falken Tire Launch New TrackBattle Time Attack Class for 2021 Season.
GRIDLIFE announces the development of an all-new class to its TrackBattle time attack motorsport series called, “Club Track Rat”, or “ClubTR” for short. ClubTR will be a 200 treadwear class supported by the Falken RT660 tire.
ClubTR fills a space that GRIDLIFE found had developed over the last couple seasons: Both cars and drivers across the traditional classes continued to progress, putting up faster and faster times through the year. ClubTR fits into the mix nicely because it allows for more personalization and modification for car builds than many entry level classes in time attack. At the same time it balances the potential of speed with a control tire (RT660), and minimal horsepower by adding modification allowances.
Some of the most popular Track Day cars like S2000s, BRZ/AE86s, Civics, Fiestas, Miatas, and more are right at home in ClubTR, with minimal car prep required to set some fast laps in competition with fellow track rats.
We have selected the Falken RT660 as the spec tire for the ClubTR Class in 2021. The Falken RT660 provides the perfect balance of performance, longevity and price that makes it ideal for this driver focused class. Falken will be supporting drivers throughout the entire GRIDLIFE ecosystem in 2021. More announcements regarding Falken’s partnership with the GRIDLIFE will be announced in the coming weeks.
