2026 Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge at Autobahn Country Club

The SCCA National Time Trial program is making a return trip to the incredible Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL! This state-of-the-art facility offers multiple layouts, including the legendary 2.1-mile, 15-turn South Circuit. With its mix of fast straights, technical corners, and forgiving runoff areas, this track is the ultimate playground for drivers ready to push themselves—and their machines—to the limit.

Wondering how you stack up? Check out the Track Records and Personal Bests webpage for past lap times set by National Time Trial competitors. But here’s the twist: it’s been two years since the program’s last visit to ECR, and plenty of records are just waiting to be broken. Can you set a new.. lap.. record?!

But the excitement doesn’t end when the track goes quiet. On-site camping at Autobahn CC isn’t just an option—it’s part of the adventure! As the sun sets, the paddock transforms into a vibrant hub of camaraderie and celebration. Hang with all the other Time Attack drivers, sharing stories about nailing the perfect lap (or lamenting the one that got away), and keep the energy alive long into the night. It’s not just about the laps—it’s about the memories you’ll make both on and off the track.
