NASA NorCal is excited to open registration for the 20th running of the epic and long-standing endurance race, the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill Presented by Hawk Performance. The race runs on a new weekend this year: Nov. 10-12.
The 25 Hours of Thunderhill Presented by Hawk Performance has been reinvented for 2023, with new classing, revised tire rules, scaled pricing by class, and a streamlined registration process. Here are the specifics.
New Classing
EP (formerly ESR) — Open to all prototypes and sports racers.
GT (formerly ES) — Open to any “GT” cars (ST1, ST2, GT3, GT4, stock cars, etc.).
E0 — ST3
E1 — ST4
E2 — ST5
E3 — ST6
New Tire Rules
E0, E1, E2, and E3 vehicles must use treadwear 180 or greater tires. Teams of all classes may change and/or rotate all tires at any legal time. The new rule is designed to lower costs for teams and minimize time spent changing tires.
New Registration Process
New for 2023, the team registers a vehicle, then drivers register themselves for the team vehicle. A minimum of four drivers will be charged per team. If you are registering with fewer than four drivers, please contact Tasha Bigelow at the NorCal office: [email protected].
