WTAC 2026
Proud to say we are now the quickest Subaru at World Time Attack Challenge ever!
This year we welcomed Ricky Capo to the team. Rickys feedback was invaluable and after only one session managed to put the car in the 126s, with basically the same car we ran last year and zero testing prior, Rickys fastest time stop the clock at 125.05, man can drive!
This officially makes it the fastest Subaru ever at WTAC by almost 2 seconds!
Unfortunately our new billet crankshaft let go, stopping us progressing further up the time sheets. Both Al and Ricky finished up 4th in Pro and Pro Am classes.
We had multiple setbacks with the car prior to the event, leaving us unsure if it was even going to make it this year, but we persisted, making all the pain worth it in the end. More on this later.
Congratulations to Michael Garland with a 3rd place in Clubsprint. After basically missing all of Friday with a gearbox issue, the team swapped it out at the track with the GIR racecar spare unit to get him running again for Saturday. However, with less than ideal ratios, it proved challenging to find the pace to push higher up the podium.
Marty T first WTAC with the team showed a massive effort from this guy. It was his first time ever out on track at SMP on Thursday then missed Friday due to a family emergency. He then came back to finish up a full Saturday set of sessions. Thanks to the Official WRX Club of Victoria team who helped transport the car.
Congrats to Adam Naccarata and Troy Patterson from Coore Troy Patterson on another successful event.
