2. Hi!
Let’s start with simple things.
For first impression about Fast Lap let’s
watch the gallery
3. What is Fast Lap?
Fast Lap is well known circuit based event in three Baltic states - Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia.
It kicked off in 2008 as a simple track day and during few years it evolved to
well known Time Attack competition. Last year we have added one more
option for our racing enthusiasts - Fast Lap Race.
Each season we have at least four events. Each event takes place in
different track across Baltic states.
All Fast Lap entrants are divided into two groups: Street and Pro. We allow
only Semi Slick street legal tires like Toyo R888 or other brands.
Fast Lap values: quality, constant improvement, honesty and accountability
in everything we do.
