Finally, after a few long days at Sydney Motorsport Park, the pits are silent and we are no longer hearing the sound of highly-tuned engines being wrung for their last kilowatt. After two years away, the 2022 Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge brought fans and teams back to test their mettle against the clock, and boy did everyone bring their A-game.
Congratulations to all the entrants, traders, and spectators who made the event so special. We look forward to doing it all again soon!
