Real Racing: Thundersaloons, Brands Hatch, 1988 (Video)

The Thundersaloon (you must read that name like a monster truck announcer: “THUNDERsaloon!”) series of racing featured great UK drivers like Robin Donovan and John Cleland. The series saw V8 Carltons, RS500s, and Honda Legends tearing up tracks across Britain.

In this video, the silhouette-style racers compete in 50 laps around the Indy circuit at Brands Hatch, kicking things off with a rolling start. There’s a mandatory driver change in there too.

The Real Racing series will feature clips and entire races from years past. On occasion we will question you on the content of the video but most times it will simply be part of a deceitful plan encouraging the B&B to whittle away their work hours while consuming shameful amounts of their employers’ bandwidth. Down with productivity!

  • 1995 SC Are there any mitigation systems that would have prevented this though? We had a ship hit a bridge in Jacksonville a few years back and it was basically dumb luck it didn't collapse. This looked like a direct hit.
  • Cprescott Oh, well.
