Registration Is Now Open for the Time Attack Challenge at Carolina Motorsports Park, and You Won’t Want to Miss It
While Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) may not be as well-known on the world stage as some circuits, it’s a super star in the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge. If you don’t already know, you can find out June 14-15, 2025, when the nationwide Time Attack series heads to Charlotte for a weekend of intense on-track action.
It’s easy to see why CMP is so popular. Nestled just north of Charlotte, NC, this iconic 14-turn, 2.279-mile track delivers the perfect blend of speed, technical challenges, and thrills. With its fast layout, generous runoff zones, and spacious paddock, CMP isn’t just a track – it’s a destination for Time Attack drivers and their whole crew.
The last time the Time Attack Challenge – or, as we called it then, the Time Trials National Tour – was at CMP, it was 2022. While many of us have changed since then, the records and personal bests haven’t, which means they’re prime for the breaking.
The rules of the series are simple: Get around the track as quickly as you can. Your best time on Saturday adds to your best time on Sunday – the result is your final score. Like all Time Attack events, that time is then measured against those in your class (and overall, for the ultra-fast ones) for your finishing position. Meanwhile, every lap around CMP is another opportunity to slap down a new personal best time.
Are you an expert driver? We’ll group you with drivers who match your level. Is this your first time on the track? Don’t sweat it, as the novice program will get you up to speed and match you with others who are learning their way. Are you somewhere in the middle? We’ve got a spot for you, too!
In short, the Time Attack Challenge is the single best way to experience on-track competition while remaining within your comfort level.

If you come to the event for the cars, stay for the people and friends! Camping is available at CMP, so don’t rush off to a hotel. Instead, we suggest cracking open a cooler and pitching a tent (or laying a sleeping bag in your trailer) and meeting your fellow enthusiasts for a night of racing after dark – not literally, but certainly figuratively.
Registration for the June 14-15, 2025, Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge at Carolina Motorsports Park opens March 14 at 1 p.m. CT, and while we don’t expect it to sell out immediately, slots are limited in order to provide the best on-track experience. Jump in before April 2, and you’ll get a $50 discount!
In other words: There’s no reason to wait to register because it’s going to be one amazing weekend – and registering early saves you money.
See you at CMP!
