The World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) is the pinnacle of global time attack competition. In 2025, Kunihiko Bando and his team made their WTAC debut with the newly built RSC300, taking on some of the fastest and most advanced time attack machines in the world.
Who is Kunihiko Bando ? An engineer, builder and driver in pursuit of speed.
Kunihiko Bando is one of Japan’s leading grassroots time attack competitors, ranking among the fastest tuning-car drivers ever to lap Tsukuba Circuit—the spiritual home of Japanese time attack.
Unlike professional race teams backed by manufacturers and large budgets, Bando is deeply involved in every aspect of the project. From concept and engineering to fabrication and driving, he helps shape every detail of the machine he competes with.
For decades, while many competitors changed platforms in pursuit of speed, Bando remained committed to the Toyota Soarer. His philosophy has always been simple: if the part he needs does not exist, he designs and builds it himself.
That relentless pursuit of performance ultimately led to the creation of the RSC300—a purpose-built machine that set the third-fastest tuning-car lap in Tsukuba Circuit history and is widely regarded as the fastest Toyota Soarer ever built.
Built not by a factory team, but through passion, ingenuity and determination, the RSC300 was created to challenge the world’s best time attack machines on the biggest stage of all: WTAC.
