About this event
The Thunderhill Open Returns!
The Open is a celebration of everything modern grassroots track culture — club racing, drifting, time attack, food, vendors, games, live stream, and evening hangs. It’s kind of a golf spoof too, so no trophies, but the now coveted Green Blazers will be awarded to the winners. Some other golf jokes too, probably.
We are thrilled to include Global Time Attack into the Thunderhill Open - The friday test day registration happens here, but GTA competition registration information can be found here: Global Time Attack
Road Racing Classes - Road Racing Schedules and Tech forms can be found here:
Non-Traditional Class Collections
We’re doing something a little different. Instead of housing, operating, and policing seven rulesets (including drift) that each have their own cultures and quirks, we figured it’s a better experience for everyone if we just go straight to the experts.
We’ve partnered with race groups directly — but separately — so these group leads will be in charge of rulesets, tech, and pre-event questions specific to their class.
Group 1 – Western Touring Car Championship - team@wtccracing.org
Group 2 – Formula Awesome - Mark@worldspeed.com
Group 3 – Heatwave Retro NASCAR - Justin@heatwavevisual.com
Full Course Drift - Drift Cave - danielc@driftcave.com
Global Time Attack - jd@globaltimeattack.com

Event requirements
We are coordinating with each of the groups for their own individual control over tech, stewarding, and organizaton - Please connect with your group lead to ensure your vehicle meets series specific safety standards for all equipment, and vehicle build specifications. Thunderhill also requires an event specific tech form to ensure that both the competitor and series have a document to work off and sign off on together. This is in the driver documents google drive here - drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tSd4QK0T0PaoCoxsBmO_7vrts_cD26ec?usp=sharing
