The Term: MAXATTACK!
The term MaxAttack! comes from the expression Maximum Attack. It's roots are in the lexicon of the World Rally Championship drivers from the 1980s. After each day of rally the television reporters would interview the drivers to get their comments on the days rallying and perhaps some insight on their strategy for the next day. Often times a driver had to make up time on another driver or defend a lead which would require driving at 100% of a driver's ability, hurtling their cars as fast as they possibly could over the rocks, jumps, and through hairpin corners as they were cheered on by throngs of wild rally fans on the sides of the roads.. In this case when asked by the press how they would be proceeding the next day the answer, which foretold of maximum speed, flirting with risk, and an absolutely fearless attitude for the next day, was simply Maximum Attack.
