Sonic Motor Racing Services was founded in 1998 and over the past ten
years has firmly established itself as the team best able to guide young
aspiring drivers from junior categories such as Formula Ford, to become
professional drivers able to work comfortably in a pressure filled
environment.
Since
its inception, Sonic has delivered a level a preparation and
professionalism not before seen in the Australian Formula Ford
Championship. This approach has seen the team challenge for the
championship over the past ten years, with Sonic drivers wining the
2001, 2002, 2004 and 2007 Australian Formula Ford Championship.
In 2005 Sonic Motor Racing Services initiated the next step in what it
anticipates will be the progression to becoming one of Australia’s most
successful teams, competing in the V8 Supercar Championship Series. The
team entered a pair of 996 Porsche GT3 Cup Cars in the Australian
Carrera Cup Championship, alongside its Australian Formula Ford
Championship commitments.
By seasons end it was obvious to see that Sonic’s meticulous preparation
and engineering skills that had provided the team with many success’ in
Formula Ford, had resulted in a new found level of professional in the
Carrera Cup ranks. The team enjoyed a successful first year of
competition in the Australian Carrera Cup, and quickly moved to cement
its position in the Championship with the addition of a third car to the
team in 2006. Whilst the team expanded within, so did the Carrera Cup
with the arrival of a new model 997 Porsche GT3 Cup Car for competition
in 2006.
In addition to its expanding Carrera Cup program, the team entered a car
in the Australian GT Championship competing in the Porsche Drivers
Challenge. The professionalism and attention to detail of the team was
again evident throughout 2006 with many race and round wins in Carrera
Cup, and the team also won the Australian GT Endurance Championship.
Further
expansion in 2007 contued with the team adding a second entry to its
Porsche Drivers Challenge efforts, along with the teams three Formula
Fords and three Carrera Cup cars. The team enjoyed there most successful
year to date in 2007 with Sonic drivers winning the Australian Formula
Ford Championship, Australian Carrera Cup Championship, and the Porsche
Drivers Challenge. This remarkable achievement was a testament to the
determination and effort by the entire team throughout the year.
In 2008, Sonic Motor Racing Services continues to grow with the addition
of another 997 Porsche GT3 Cup Car to its Carrera Cup program. With
stability and continuity with its Formula Ford and GT3 Cup Challenge
programs, 2008 promises to be just as exciting and successful as the
previous ten years. |
