Thunder Sports Overview

Thunder Sports is a series for Sports Cars in Australia from prototype through to production sports cars. With cars such as Norax, Saker, Jaguar and brands including BMW, Mazda, Porsche, Ferrari.

Thunder Sports is set to open up Sports Car racing to a massive variety of Sports Car types, with a minimum of restrictions and maximum speed. Rather than dividing Sports Cars and declaring selected cars ineligible, Thunder Sports will unite a wide variety of cars and present an awesome spectacle.

The Thunder Sports cars will have engines ranging from naturally aspirated 4-cylinders to massive V-12s. They'll have bodies ranging from normal road-type cars to full-blown Le-Mans style Sports Cars.

Thunder Sports will truly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end...
