Some of all of the above, and yet, none of the above. Build a WRC RGT.

RWD + 350-ish hp + Short Wheelbase + Loose surfaces + Curvy Roads - Runoff room = Awesomeness.

It'll be good for you. Put some hair on your chest.

Otherwise, if you wanna geek out for the technical challenge, I'm with JimR. Tractor Pull. Maybe go a step further and do tug-o-war. Make it do something it's not supposed to be able to do.

You know how to reach me

Why not stop by at EXR and get a ride in a Ferrari with me driving while you're at ACS?

Alot of "time attack" is referred to as "time trails" by organizations like NASA and the SCCA. There isn't a whole lot of publicity with those events like Global Time Attack or Redline (if its even a thing anymore).

Most "competitive cars" run ~TTD which is basically bolt ons, tune and suspension which isn't that interesting compared to high-dollar flashy 500whp builds.

It's because 500whp FRS for the most part, will not last when actually driven hard.
