New for WTAC 2025: Hypercar Class Featuring the Pagani Huayra R, Ferrari FXX, and Brabham BT62!

Get ready, automotive enthusiasts! The Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) is about to unleash something truly extraordinary this year: the all-new Hypercar Class! For the very first time, we're bringing three of the planet's most exclusive, most ferocious, and utterly jaw-dropping hypercars to Sydney Motorsport Park for a brutal, no-holds-barred assault on the clock. Prepare to witness these mechanical titans tear up the tarmac, showcasing the absolute pinnacle of automotive performance. This isn't just about speed; it's about raw power, spine-tingling sound, and the ultimate dance between man and machine.

Leading the charge is the Pagani Huayra R, a true track-only masterpiece and a testament to Pagani's obsession with performance and art. This sculpted beauty is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 engine, purpose-built by HWA AG. It screams to a stratospheric 9,000 rpm, unleashing a staggering 838 horsepower – a symphony of sound that will echo through the grandstands. Designed for uncompromising track performance, the Huayra R boasts an initial development target of 1000 kg of downforce at 320 km/h and a dry weight of a mere 1,060 kg. Its Carbo-Titanium monocoque chassis and sophisticated active aerodynamics ensure unparalleled grip and blistering lap times. Piloting this automotive sculpture will be highly respected Australian Supercars driver, Tim Slade. Known for his precision and ability to extract every ounce of performance, Slade is a two-time WTAC winner, making him the ideal master for the Huayra R.

Next up is the Ferrari FXX, a mythical beast born from Ferrari's exclusive Corse Clienti program and designed purely for the most discerning track connoisseurs. These ultra-limited, non-road-legal machines command immense collector value. Based on the iconic Enzo, the FXX features a formidable 6.3-litre V12 engine producing around 800 horsepower. While not officially chasing records like the Huayra R or BT62, the FXX and its evolution, the FXX Evoluzione, have demonstrated mind-boggling pace, with one FXX Evoluzione reportedly achieving an unofficial Nürburgring Nordschleife lap in the 6-minute 50-second range – a feat reserved for only the most extreme machinery. Its aggressive aerodynamics, lightning-fast six-speed sequential gearbox, and comprehensive telemetry systems allow for extreme performance and continuous development – a true living laboratory of Ferrari's racing technology. This untamed Prancing Horse will be unleashed by Fraser Ross, an accomplished GT racer with extensive international experience. Ross is no stranger to high-performance machinery, and his expertise in setting up and extracting performance from complex race cars will be invaluable with the FXX.

Completing the trio is the Brabham BT62, a truly raw and uncompromising track weapon that marks the triumphant return of an iconic name in motorsport. This Australian-built hypercar, has already proven its mettle on home soil. It famously set an outright lap record at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, with an incredible 1:58.69 unofficial time, shattering previous benchmarks set by GT3 race cars. More recently, it also claimed the outright lap record at Phillip Island with a 1:24.060 lap. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.4-litre V8 engine delivering a potent 700 horsepower. With a dry weight of just 972 kg and producing over 1,200 kg of downforce at speed, the BT62 is designed for pure, unadulterated track dominance. Its extreme downforce, race-spec suspension, and no-compromise approach make it an absolute force. Piloting this ultimate track machine will be rising talent James Golding. His rapid progression and natural car control have impressed in Supercars and S5000, and his youthful exuberance combined with his growing experience promises an exhilarating display of speed behind the wheel of the BT62.

This is an unparalleled opportunity to witness these multi-million dollar track-bred monsters in full flight, pushing the limits of what's possible and etching their names into the record books. The Hypercar Class promises to be the highlight of WTAC 2025, delivering an unforgettable spectacle of raw power, incredible speed, and pure automotive theatre.
