Once again the Pac Performance team is heading back to Willowbank Raceway in sunny Queensland with the Mazda6 SP to take part in the biggest event on the Australian drag racing calender, the FUCHS Winternationals; taking on some of the world's toughest Sport Compact drag cars in Factory Xtreme.
The FUCHS Winternationals draws massive crowds from the world over, showcasing the very best drag racing action this country has to offer over 4 huge days with the Factory Xtreme class running over Friday and Saturday, 6th and 7th June.
Last years event was a huge one for the team, reclaiming the rotary World Record with a 6.47@222 pass and although the record has since been taken back by our overseas friends we're working hard to make this years event another memorable one by improving on our current 6.35@217 PB and bring the record back home!

World’s Fastest Compacts to Light Up 2014 Fuchs Winternationals
High-Tech Horsepower Hits Willowbank
World’s Fastest Compacts to Light Up 2014 Fuchs Winternationals
High-Tech Horsepower Hits Willowbank
Ten of the world’s quickest and fastest sport compact racers will take to the Willowbank Raceway quarter mile on Friday and Saturday 6th and 7th of June as Factory Xtreme showcase the very best side-by-side turbocharged drag racing on the planet.
In a category that sees fire breathing four and six cylinders vehicles up against the fastest rotary engines around, low six-second performances and world record performances are their stock in trade.
Kiwi Factory Xtreme powerhouse Rod Harvey took his 2JZ straight-six powered Toyota Celica to new heights running an impressive world record 376km/h (234mph) at the recent X-Champs at Sydney Dragway, claiming the title as fastest Toyota on the planet. Likewise, the world’s fastest rotary vehicle, the Pac Performance Mazda 6 SP reset its own record to 6.353sec, taking it to within one tenth of a second of the coveted world rotary record, a mark the Sydney-based team will undoubtedly be looking to retake at the 2014 Fuchs Winternationals.
Nissan fans are in for a special treat with a battle of the twin-turbocharged V6s as the world’s fastest sport compact car, Scott Porter’s G35 Infiniti takes on the world’s quickest and fastest GT-R driven by Mark Jacobsen. These six-second beasts will face off in one of seven exhibitions scheduled over two days at the largest drag racing event in the southern hemisphere.
The 2014 Fuchs Winternationals runs from the 5th – 8th of June at Willowbank Raceway, Champions Way, Willowbank QLD. Tickets are available at the gate or online from willowbankraceway.com.au. Children 13 and under admitted free.
