FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Huntington Beach, California, USA / Puerto Rico —
Global Time Attack (GTA) and Hyper Attack are proud to announce a new partnership aimed at expanding time attack competition and creating new opportunities for drivers throughout the United States and the Caribbean.
The collaboration will align the two organizations through shared competition standards, cross-promotion, and driver participation programs designed to encourage teams to compete internationally.
A key component of the partnership is Hyper Attack’s adoption of the Global Time Attack rulebook as the backbone of its competition structure, creating compatibility between the two series and allowing cars to compete in both championships with minimal modifications.
“This partnership is exciting because Hyper Attack is building their series using the GTA rules as the foundation,” said Jason Dienhart, President of Global Time Attack. “That alignment makes it much easier for drivers to compete in both series and opens the door for Puerto Rican drivers to race in GTA events in the United States.”
Hyper Attack co-owners Brian Santiago and Edgardo Vives believe the collaboration will help grow the sport throughout the region.
“Working with Global Time Attack gives us a strong foundation as we build Hyper Attack,” said Santiago and Vives. “Using the GTA rules allows our drivers to compete on a global standard while also giving them a clear pathway to race in the United States.”
The partnership will introduce a GTA / Hyper Attack Cross-Border Challenge, encouraging drivers to compete in events hosted by both organizations during the same season.
Drivers who participate in both series will receive special recognition and promotion across the two organizations’ media platforms.
To support international competition, the organizations will also collaborate on a Driver Travel Concierge Program to assist teams traveling between Puerto Rico and the mainland United States. The program will provide guidance on transporting race cars, accommodations, and event logistics.
Global Time Attack has been one of the premier time attack organizations in North America since its founding in 2011, hosting events at major circuits across the United States.
Hyper Attack represents a new and exciting addition to the time attack landscape in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, bringing high-performance competition to a rapidly growing motorsports community.
“This partnership is about opening doors,” added Dienhart. “The more opportunities drivers have to compete, the stronger the sport becomes.”
More information about the Cross-Border Challenge and upcoming Hyper Attack events will be announced soon.

Global Time Attack is proud to welcome LVRY as a partner for the 2026 season.
LVRY is a track-born motorsport brand built by racers, focused on designing racewear, technical essentials, and travel systems for the realities of modern racing. The brand was created to support the drivers, crews, and enthusiasts who spend their weekends at the track.
Through this partnership, Global Time Attack competitors will also have access to DRVR CLUB, LVRY’s participation-based rewards program designed to give drivers credit for showing up and competing.
DRVR CLUB was built around a simple idea: racing is about more than podiums. It’s about the drivers who invest their time, energy, and resources to be part of the sport week after week. Instead of rewarding only the winners, DRVR CLUB rewards participation.
The program is simple: 1 point = $1 toward LVRY gear.
Drivers earn points by competing throughout the season, which can then be redeemed toward LVRY products including racewear, technical gear, and travel equipment.
DRVR CLUB is free to join and open to racers across multiple levels of motorsport.
If you’re already putting in the laps, you might as well get credit for them.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Huntington Beach, California, USA / Mexico City, Mexico —
Global Time Attack (GTA) and Time Attack Tempus Fugit (Time Attack TF) are proud to announce a new collaborative partnership designed to strengthen time attack competition across the United States and Mexico.
The agreement establishes a cooperative relationship between the two organizations focused on promoting international participation, aligning competition standards, and creating new opportunities for drivers and teams to compete across borders.
As two of the leading time attack organizations in North America, the partnership represents an important step in expanding the sport and connecting the growing time attack communities in both countries.
“Time attack has always been about innovation, competition, and pushing limits,” said Jason Dienhart, President of Global Time Attack. “Luis and his team have built something special in Mexico. By working together, we can open new opportunities for drivers to compete internationally and grow the sport throughout North America.”
Time Attack TF founder Luis Cobos echoed the excitement about the partnership.
“This collaboration with Global Time Attack is a big step forward for the time attack community in Mexico,” said Cobos. “Our drivers are excited about the opportunity to compete in the United States, and we look forward to welcoming American drivers to race with us in Mexico.”
A key initiative of the partnership will be the launch of the GTA / Time Attack TF Cross-Border Challenge, designed to encourage drivers from both countries to travel and compete in each other’s events.
Drivers who participate in events from both series during the same season will receive special recognition and eligibility for cross-border awards, along with dedicated promotion across both organizations’ media platforms.
The two organizations will also work together on a potential North American Points Challenge, allowing drivers to earn points from events in both series toward a combined championship.
To make international participation easier, the organizations will collaborate on a class equivalency guide that maps the competition classes from each series. This will help drivers understand how their cars will be classified when competing internationally.
While both organizations will maintain their own rulebooks, the partnership includes consultation on technical regulations and safety standards to promote compatibility where possible.
The partnership will also introduce a Driver Travel Concierge Program aimed at helping competitors navigate the logistics of transporting race cars across the border.
Both organizations will provide visiting drivers with guidance on:
Time Attack TF hosts competitions at some of Mexico’s most iconic circuits, including events at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City and at the circuit in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
Global Time Attack has been one of the premier time attack organizations in the United States since its founding in 2011, hosting events at major circuits across the country and attracting top drivers and teams from around the world.
Together, the two organizations aim to create a stronger and more connected North American time attack community.
“This partnership is about building something bigger than any single series,” said Dienhart. “The goal is simple — more opportunities for drivers, stronger competition, and continued growth of time attack motorsport across North America.”
More details about the Cross-Border Challenge and additional joint initiatives will be announced in the coming months.

Global Time Attack is proud to welcome MMR (Modular Motorsports Racing) as an official series sponsor for the 2026 season, while also announcing the launch of a new competitive initiative: Fast Fords, presented by MMR.
The program is designed to spotlight Ford powered competitors across the GTA field, giving Mustang and Ford owners a clear target, added motivation, and meaningful recognition regardless of class.

As part of the 2026 partnership, MMR and Global Time Attack will introduce the Fast Fords presented by MMR award at every GTA event.
The concept is simple and intentionally competitive.
At each event, GTA will recognize:
Results will be determined by overall lap time, regardless of class. If you’re driving a Ford, particularly a Mustang, you’re competing directly against every other Ford in the paddock.
Fast Fords awards will be:
This creates a parallel competition within the main GTA structure one that rewards outright performance and puts Ford drivers directly in the spotlight.
MMR has long been synonymous with elite late-model Ford performance, particularly in the Ford OHC and DOHC engine space. With world records across nearly every Ford DOHC platform including a Ford Coyote program exceeding 4,000 horsepower at 10,000 RPM MMR’s engineering pedigree is unquestioned.
As Mustangs continue to gain traction in time attack competition, Fast Fords gives those drivers:
For fans and spectators, it adds another storyline to follow throughout the weekend one that’s easy to understand and exciting to watch develop session by session.
MMR’s involvement in GTA goes beyond branding. The company has recently expanded its lineup of road race engines and suspension components, specifically developed for time attack and circuit use.
“These products are doing exactly what we designed them to do,” said MMR founder Mark Luton. “Seeing them perform at a high level in time attack competition has been incredibly rewarding.”
MMR will attend select GTA events throughout the 2026 season with:
“Our staff is always available,” Luton added. “A great part is nothing without the support behind it.”

Fast Fords presented by MMR is designed to grow. What begins as an event-by-event award program lays the foundation for deeper Ford-focused competition, expanded online leaderboards, and future activation opportunities.
MMR is also preparing a new Unlimited class Time Attack Mustang, currently nearing completion — a project that signals just how serious the company is about this next chapter.
“When MMR puts its mind to something,” Luton said, “watch out.”
“Thank you for having us,” Luton shared. “We’re excited to support Global Time Attack and encourage more Mustang owners to get out, compete, and enjoy the incredible level of racing in this series.
If we can help anyone, any team, any make, any model with manufacturing or development, come see us or give us a call.”

With Fast Fords presented by MMR, Global Time Attack adds another competitive layer to the 2026 season, one that rewards outright speed, celebrates Ford performance, and gives Mustang drivers something tangible to chase every time they roll onto the track.
Welcome to the series, MMR. Let’s see who the fastest Ford really is.

Global Time Attack is proud to welcome MMR — Modular Motorsports Racing — as an official series sponsor for the 2026 season. Founded more than two decades ago by engineer and racer Mark Luton, MMR has become one of the dominant forces in late-model Ford performance, earning world records and a reputation for engineering without compromise.
With the Mustang’s growing presence in time attack and MMR’s rapidly expanding commitment to road-race and time-attack
product development, this partnership hits at exactly the right moment.
For those new to the brand, MMR is a U.S. manufacturer of suspension and engine components for late-model Ford Mustangs, built on a simple mission: design and manufacture innovative, zero-compromise performance parts.
Unlike much of the aftermarket, MMR manufactures its components in-house, leveraging extensive on-track and off-track R&D with an obsession for detail. Every product is built with one priority: the strongest, lightest, most uncompromising solution possible.
MMR is best known for absolutely dominating the Ford OHC/DOHC market, with world records across nearly every Ford DOHC engine platform ever produced. Their flagship achievement? A Ford Coyote engine program exceeding 4,000 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and delivering a staggering 5.67 @ 265 mph in the quarter mile — a benchmark that still turns heads across every corner of motorsports.
Now, that same engineering energy is shifting into time attack.

MMR has recently developed a full line of road-race engines and suspension components engineered specifically for time attack and circuit performance. The results have already been speaking for themselves — in both customer cars and MMR’s own competition programs.
“We’re very proud to see these products performing at such a high level,” said Luton. “They were built for exactly this environment.”
As more Mustangs enter time attack competition and more Ford builders push into the discipline, partnering with GTA for 2026 became an obvious next step for MMR.
“GTA felt natural for us,” Luton shared. “Our commitment to time-attack-specific product development is growing, and we’re seeing a real wave of Mustang owners coming into the sport.”
Time attack brings a type of challenge MMR loves — the high adrenaline of drag racing, but with far more seat time and technical depth.
“It’s the same thrill, but stretched out. More strategy, more control, more time to do what we love behind the wheel.”
MMR will attend select GTA events throughout the 2026 season, offering:
“Our staff is always available,” Luton said. “A great part is nothing without the support behind it.”
MMR’s motorsports roots run deep. Luton originally came from a professional downhill mountain biking background, transitioning into motorsports after injury forced a shift. From there, he worked with major motorsports manufacturers before founding MMR over 21 years ago.
Over the years, the team has built and raced many cars, but their world-record Coyote program stands as their defining statement:
When MMR commits to a challenge, expect fireworks.
Now, the next chapter is coming fast — a brand-new 2025 Unlimited-class Time Attack Mustang, currently in the final stages of completion.
“Watch out,” Luton hinted. “When we set our minds to something, big things happen.”

“Thank you for having us. We’re excited to support the series, and we hope to encourage more Mustang owners to get out and enjoy GTA time attack and the community around it.
If we can help anyone — any team, any make, any model — with manufacturing or development, come see us at the track or give us a call. We’re here to help.”
MMR wants competitors to know they’re committed to both product quality and customer support.
“Our parts are proven on our own cars and on our customers’ cars. And when you need us, we’re one phone call away — which matters more now than ever.”
MMR’s entry into Global Time Attack marks a major moment not just for Mustang competitors, but for the sport as a whole. The engineering pedigree that defined MMR’s drag racing dominance is now locked onto time attack — and the 2026 season is shaping up to be something special.
Welcome to the family, Modular Motorsports Racing. Let’s go make some history. – Jason Dienhart, GTA.
