26-615: The Belgian National Time Trial Championships are held annually as part of the Belgian National Cycling Championships, deciding the national champion in this discipline for the year to come. The national time trial championship in Belgium is a relatively new competition, especially when compared to the Belgium National Road Race Championship , which was first held in 1894. The first winner of

52-411: A game. Racing games may also include ghost cars recorded by the development staff—attempting to beat their times can provide a final challenge to players who have mastered the rest of the game. Often the game provides other incentives to use the time attack feature; GoldenEye 007 and Tomb Raider Anniversary encouraged players to revisit levels more than once by offering unlockable cheat options as

78-442: A later date. Racing games often feature "ghost cars" which are saved when the player sets a record time. In subsequent races, the ghost car follows the path the player took when setting that record, allowing them to clearly gauge how they are performing against the previous achievement. Saved ghost cars can often be shared with other players. The inclusion of a time attack mode can often be an effective way of adding replay value to

104-545: A limited number of laps, time trial has open sessions. Unlike other timed motorsport disciplines such as sprinting and hillclimbing , the car is required to start off under full rolling start conditions following a warm up lap in which they will have to accelerate out as fast as possible to determine how fast they enter their timed lap. Commonly, as the cars are modified road going cars, they are required to have tires authorized for road use. Time attack events began in Japan in

130-552: A reward for completing them within target times. Sometimes, the settings of a time attack mode are "locked" in order to standardize competition between players. For example, Soul Calibur features a time attack mode automatically set to two rounds for a win, the normal difficulty setting and a default time limit; but it also features an alternative Arcade mode, which allows any option settings to be used and saves record times separately. Both speedrunning and time attacking have extensive online communities dedicated to achieving

156-404: A time trial can be a single track cycling event, or an individual or team time trial on the road, and either or both of the latter may form components of multi-day stage races . In contrast to other types of races, athletes race alone since they are sent out in intervals (interval starts), as opposed to a mass start . Time trialist will often seek to maintain marginal aerodynamic gains as

182-502: Is allowed, that is not forbidden explicitly. While in lower classes a distinction between 2WD and 4WD is made, this is neglected in the Extreme-class. The series is independent and not connected to any larger organization like the DMSB . Many computer and video games include a time trial (also known as time attack ) mode, in which the main goal is to complete levels —or, in some cases,

208-571: Is only driven by the five fastest starters from the Qualifying. Groups are split according to car specifications, mainly regarding severity of modifications and aerodynamics. With more powerful classes, safety regulations are also tighter. Classes range from Club -class, being close-to-production, via the Pro -class, with more allowed aerodynamics and allowed engine swaps, to the Extreme -class in which everything

234-406: Is set up to host drivers from the very entry level up to full blown racecars with according drivers, divided over 5 classes.

338-411: The clock or time attack is often part of racing video games . Time attack is a type of motorsport in which the racers compete for the best lap time. Each vehicle is timed through numerous circuits of the track. The racers make a preliminary circuit, then run the timed laps, and then finish with a cool-down lap. Time attack and time trial events differ by competition format and rules. Time attack has

364-509: The clock where the crew or rower completing the course in the shortest time in their age, ability and boat-class category is deemed the winner. In many forms of motorsport , a similar format is used in qualifying to determine the starting order for the main event, though multiple attempts to set the fastest time are often allowed. In rallying , the special stages are run in a time-trial format. Other forms of time trials in motorsport include hill-climbing and qualifying. A similar race against

390-472: The entire game—as quickly as possible. This mode prioritizes completion time ahead of other measures of success such as high scores . In cases in which a game does not have a dedicated time attack or trial mode, a fast completion is frequently known as a speedrun . Usually the best results achieved in a time attack mode are stored in long-term memory by the game (on a hard disk or non-volatile memory ), so they can be shared with friends or improved upon at

416-542: The fastest time attack teams from around the globe to compete. Europe hosts several Time Attack championships with Dutch Time Attack as one of the first starting in June 2008.
