Tonight live from 8.20pm we bring you all the action from Round 5 of the KIWI SIM RACING GT1 Thunder. Round 5 will see the drivers head to Lakeville, Connecticut, United States to take on Lime Rock Raceway
Lime Rock doesn’t waste time. It’s small, fast, and vicious - a one‑minute pressure cooker where the Corvette C6.R unleashes raw torque and the Aston Martin DBR9 slices through traffic with surgical intent.
There’s nowhere to hide here. Big Bend compresses the field into a single heartbeat. The Uphill launches the car blind, daring you to stay flat. The downhill run to the final corner is a test of trust - in the tyres, in the brakes, in yourself.
Traffic becomes chaos. Laps blur together. Every mistake is amplified, every hesitation punished. This is sprint‑racing distilled to its purest form.
Round 5 is survival at speed. If Mid‑Ohio set the tone and Belle Isle tested nerve, Lime Rock exposes the truth - who can handle relentless pressure and who cracks under it.
The thunder doesn’t slow
