Thundercat Racing

Thundercat racing is an open class form of racing which started in South Africa about 15 years ago. Since those humble beginnings, the boats have come a long way. Imagine a group of boats in close-quarter-surf-break racing with marker buoys inside the inner breakers.

Many manufacturers have come and gone from the racing scene over the years, so there are a lot of different makes and models available. However, these all share the same design and can therefore race competitively together.

Thundercat Racing has become very big over the years in the southern hemisphere, with major events taking place in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The UK is now set to become the fourth major player. The events are televised on Sky Sports and broadcast throughout the world.

We are sure that Thundercat racing will be as popular here as it is in the rest of the world.

The greatest thing for Thundercat enthusiasts is that it is not chequebook sport. You can have a race ready Thundercat for less than £7000, and as no modifications are allowed to the engines or boats the races are kept fair.
