time attack
Race against time
Time attack is a racing format where drivers compete against the clock rather than each other, aiming to set the fastest lap time on a course.
The term applies to both motorsport events and video game modes: I spent the afternoon trying to beat my time attack record.
Unlike wheel-to-wheel racing, time attack emphasizes precision and consistency over direct competition.
