WTAC Evo's and some other stuff. Lots of pics
 

I was lucky enough to go to the 2013 World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) held on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th of September at Eastern Creek Motorsport Park in western Sydney, Australia. The Evo's competing did really well, winning the Pro Class, Pro AM Class and taking 2nd and 4th in the Open Class and a 3rd and 4th in the Clubsprint. An Evo also took out the Flying 500, achieving 252km/h at the end of a rolling start 500 meter drag. There was a good showing of Evo's in the Show and Shine (including mine) and unlike 2012 the weather was sunny and warm.

Some X's on display at the Show and Shine.

How about a six rotor Mazda. Going on what Mad Mike Whiddett did with it in the Flying 500 this motor doesn't lack power

Why settle for a carbon splitter when you can have a whole carbon front end!

I have pretty limited camera gear so these action shots are not the best.

Awesome! Would have loved to watch that race, though sad to see Nemo wasnt working right.

nice

Is your wing mounted on top of that other spoiler?

its a Monster sport rear spoiler riser, the stock wing mounts on top of it.

great pics. would have loved to see more full body shots of some of those cars instead of just engine bays.

Any idea what the one piece carbon fiber front end costs? That seems like an insanely expensive "front splitter" to have to replace incase of an off/minor mishap.

How did it go for you?

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing.

A few more photo's of some of the different cars competing.

had a rough weekend but all ok in the end, car is mostly in one piece {thumbup}

Stock evo wing ftw. I wonder if it was a VIII wing or IX?

awesome pics!

Great Pics and Hoooorrraayyy for pics of Evos that can actually drive :chug:

Awesome coverage of the event. What car was the 6 Rotor engine in?

Sorry, I should of got some photos of the whole car. It's in a Mazda RX-4. If you type 6 rotor mazda rx-4 into google it comes straight up.
