The Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge returned to Sydney Motorsport Park over the 14th & 15th of October and brought with it an impressive collection of classic machinery to go along with the event’s signature time attack monsters.

Dan Stoodley and Michael Dickson were our men on the ground at the event, and have returned with an awesome gallery capturing all of the action.

Featuring the World Time Attack Challenge, the International Drift Challenge, the Flying 500, Show’n’Shine and Prep’d Motorsport Legends, WTAC is a glorious celebration of speed and motorsport.

The World Time Attack Challenge is an all-out, no holds barred dice for the ultimate lap. The cars are relatively unrestricted, leading to truly awe-inspiring, and utterly mad, machinery and a glorious revelry in the pure pursuit of speed.

Tim Slade topped the time sheets over the weekend in the MCA Suspension ‘Hammerhead’ Nissan S13. He lapped Sydney Motorsport Park in 1:22.19, drawing inevitably closer to Sydney Motorsprot Park’s outright lap record – Nico Hülkenberg’s 1:19.14 set during the Australian round of the 2007 A1GP in a Lola A1GP Zytek.

The event has always celebrated the cars of the golden age, and this year saw that celebration grow with Prep’d Motorsport Legends. Originally focused on turbo cars, the Legends now include naturally aspirated cars as well, showing off the race cars that built Australian and international motorsport history from the ’70s through the ’90s.
