The upcoming WTAC 2024 is heating up with the news that Pikes Peak open-wheel division champion (and 4th fastest outright!) Cole Powelson (USA) will return behind the wheel of the high-performance COORE Racing Subaru GC8 STI. Cole piloted this WRX on its debut at WTAC in 2023 but with further development since then with Cole's feedback, this car will be one to watch in GCG Open Class!
Powelson's racing credentials are undeniable. Not only the fastest American to ever conquer WTAC in his Lyfe Motorsport R35 GTR, his victory at the prestigious Pikes Peak International Hill Climb speaks volumes about his exceptional driving abilities. Now, he'll be putting his skills to the test again in COORE Racing's well-built STI prepped by Got It Rex, a team known for their expertise in Subaru performance.
The STI boasts a long list of impressive modifications. A powerful 450kW EJ25 engine has enhanced breathing capabilities thanks to a Garrett G35 turbocharger. Ohlins suspension keeps the car stable and composed, while a Modena sequential gearbox allows for rapid gear changes. A full MoTeC system manages the engine, dashboard, and power distribution, while Alcon brakes provide exceptional stopping power. Bosch Motorsport ABS contributes to maintaining control of braking, even in challenging situations.
Further optimizing performance is a lightweight carbon composite bodykit by ABW. Reducing weight without sacrificing strength is crucial in racing, and ABW's bodykit achieves this effectively. A full Radium system ensures consistent fuel to the engine, and a Roger Clark Motorsport dry sump system maintains optimal lubrication under the demanding cornering conditions of Sydney Motorsport Park.
Visit COORE Racing at their WTAC trade stand, where they are offering fans a chance to shake hands and talk shop with the people who have made this car possible. It will also be an opportunity to meet engineer Adam De Borre, who has over a decade of experience partnered as Chaz Mostert's Supercars engineer, highlighting COORE Racing's strong background in the sport.
With Powelson's talent and COORE Racing's unwavering dedication to this WRX build, this collaboration is a recipe for success at WTAC 2024. Don't miss the chance to see this formidable pairing compete!
