In the coming year, the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge will once again traverse the country, bringing with it access to some of the best tracks and finest competition. The 2027 season will also mark the running of the series’ second National Championship event. All said, the coming season’s schedule boasts nine unforgettable opportunities for drivers to push themselves to the limit in pursuit of personal bests, track records, and (of course) wins.
And, hey, guess what? You’re invited!
From bone stock commuters to maxed-out competition vehicles and everything in between, SCCA’s Time Attack Challenge pits drivers against not only themselves and the clock, but also some of the best Time Attack competitors in the nation, all in fantastically fun weekends. Time Attack Challenge events see everyone from first-time track goers looking to add to their personal motorsport growth to championship-caliber drivers using every opportunity to sharpen their skills. Regardless of car and driver level, each weekend features parties, on-site camping, and camaraderie that keeps people coming back for more.
The 2027 season builds upon this formula, but adds more, with seven of those weekends featuring the newly announced GRM Cup in partnership with Grassroots Motorsports.
“We’ve spent time dialing in the competition-to-fun ratio, and the 2027 season really showcases that,” says SCCA Vice President of Experiential Programs Heyward Wagner. “From the season’s opener in a city that oozes fun to hidden gems and more, this coming year features something for everyone. If you’ve ever thought about attending an SCCA Time Attack Challenge, we’ve got a weekend for you.
“I’m also super excited we’re adding GRM Cup to seven of the Time Attack weekends. All combined, I can’t wait for the season to begin.”
Take the Challenge
The 2027 Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge kicks off just like it did in 2026, because jumpstarting any series in Las Vegas is no gamble. The outside road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of those hidden gems, mixing speed with technical to create a circuit that can’t be beat – and like last year, mid-February is when Time Attack drivers will take to this circuit.
From there, the series heads east for a stop at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, TX, for a late April event. This location has proved popular with drivers, making a return to the facility a no-brainer.
Then we get into the thick of things with a slew of events taking place in June, July, and August.
Missouri and Hedge Hollow Raceway jumpstart summer with an incredible opportunity on June 12-13 as the Time Attack Challenge makes its first appearance at the relatively new racing circuit. Opened in 2019 as a private facility then later opened to the public, the Alan Wilson-designed track mixes high speed straights with technical portions to challenge cars and drivers. In short, you’re going to love it.
The next stop comes in South Carolina on June 19-20 at Carolina Motorsports Park, followed on July 10-11 with an event in Georgia at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Next comes a trip to Pennsylvania’s Pocono Raceway one week later, July 17-18, with mid-August bringing another West Coast event at Ridge Motorsports Park in Washington. All of those tracks are classics in their own right.
All of the aforementioned Time Attack Challenge events include GRM Cup events.
Technically, the series wraps in November at southern California’s Buttonwillow Raceway Park, but that comes after the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack National Championship.
The 2027 National Championship event falls on Oct. 7-11 at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL. Autobahn has long been a fan favorite, making it a natural fit to host the second annual Time Attack National Championship.
