Despite the CEO's health setback, preparations for the 2026 WTAC remain on schedule. The event, known for its wild machines, will proceed as planned at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Known as 'Mr World Time Attack', Baker is the driving force behind the annual event that brings some of the world's craziest cars from Japan and the United States to Australia. Without him, the event wouldn't have become the global phenomenon it is today.

WTAC 2026 will be a two-day festival blending time attack and drifting action. In the top Emtron Pro class, Bathurst 1000 winner Todd Hazelwood, along with former full-time Supercar drivers Tim Slade and Alex Rullo, are set to battle for victory.

The presence of these top drivers guarantees fierce competition on track. Fans can still look forward to spectacular action, even as Baker takes a temporary step back from the paddock.
