Age is just a number for JDM legend Keiichi Tsuchiya. Despite the Drift King's retirement from professional motorsport more than ten years ago, 61-year-old Dori Dori is as passionate about racing as ever – Tsuchiya-San will return to the World Time Attack Challenge Sydney for 2017, [via an announcement](<https://www.worldtimeattack.com/index.php/keiichi-tsuchiya-returns-to-wtac-2017/>) on Tuesday.

“I really enjoyed my trip to WTAC last year. the Australian fans are truly the best!” said [Tsuchiya-san](<https://www.worldtimeattack.com/index.php/keiichi-tsuchiya-returns-to-wtac-2017/>). “And while my career has been in racing, my heart was always in the tuning scene and WTAC really embodies that. This show is amazing and I am honored to be a part of it. In fact, I enjoyed it so much last year, this year I will bring something very special along with me to put on a show for the fans! I am sure you will all love it as much as I do!

“Look forward to seeing you all again in Sydney in October!”

We haven't got a clue what special vehicle Tsuchiya plans to bring with him, but given his limitless connections in the Japanese tuner scene, we're in for a treat.
