Michelin will be working in association with ThundersportGB next year. The popular national race series has 15 different classes with rounds at Britain’s leading circuits. ThundersportGB’s diverse array of disciplines ranges from the famous Aprilia Superteen Challenge (with big names like Casey Stoner, Cal Crutchlow, Tom Sykes, Chaz Davies, Tommy Hill, Leon Camier, Bradley Smith, Danny Webb and the Lowes twins) to the fast and furious Elite 600 and fire breathing 1000s in GP1.
Aimed at those hungry for action on the track, who fall between traditional club racing and British Superbikes, ThundersportGB is often referred to as “sportsman racing”.
Michelin motorsport manager Tim Hoare said: “We’ve always admired the success of this series that regularly attracts hundreds of passionate racers to each round. Our range of track tyres offer something for everyone, and we’re confident that the superior performance of our products will encourage many ThundersportGB riders to choose Michelin.”
ThundersportGB racers will also be able to make their claim to fame as all races on day two of each event are televised, meaning viewers can watch the excitement unfold in three 90-minute shows broadcast on MotorsTV or on the ‘thundersport i-player’ at thundersportgb.com.
