THE GRID
Global Time Attack Challenge
Inspired by the Global T-Race Challenge
This challenge is directly inspired by the Global T-Race Challenge, created to provide a consistent, accessible format for time-based PEV racing around the world. The Grid follows the same core methodology—using standardized marker layouts and GPS timing—but offers a larger, alternate layout with a bit more flow. It’s not intended as an improvement, but simply a different take on the same spirit of global competition.

Track Setup
9 markers, placed in a 3x3 square grid.
Each marker is spaced 20 metres apart in both directions.
The clockwise layout follows the official course design (see reference diagram).
The counter-clockwise layout is a mirrored version of the official course, ensuring balanced riding between heelside and toeside turns.

Riders must complete one timed lap in each direction:
Clockwise = Original layout
Counter-clockwise = Mirrored layout
Flying starts are permitted.
The fastest single lap time in each direction is recorded and submitted.

Recommended GPS devices: Dragy, RaceBox, LapTimer apps, etc.
No manual timing or stopwatches permitted.
Submission Guidelines
