Thunder Bunny Racing to Join the Pirelli GT4 America Fight
Thunder Bunny Racing is thrilled to announce its entry into the highly competitive Pirelli GT4 America series for the 2025 season. The team will make its debut in the AM class, fielding a Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2. This marks Thunder Bunny Racing’s first season in the series, with drivers Allen Patten and Laura Hayes also competing in GT4 America for the first time.
Known for its passion, versatility, and proven success across various racing disciplines, Thunder Bunny Racing has chosen the Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 as their weapon of choice for 2025. The team has already enjoyed considerable success with their GR Supra GT4s in other racing series, including the World Racing League and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, where they have claimed championships, wins, and numerous podium finishes.
Allen Patten brings impressive speed and experience to the team. His background includes dominating competition in GridLife, where he set track records in every event he entered in 2024 with his Toyota Supra — a car modified and prepared by Thunder Bunny Racing and Jax Speed. Allen is eager to take this next step in his racing career.
“I’m excited to take on a new challenge in GT4 America. Thunder Bunny Racing has been instrumental in getting me to this point, and I’m ready to bring everything I’ve learned to the track,” Patten said.
Laura Hayes, a California native, will have the opportunity to race in her home state for the first time since 2008. She grew up racing shifter karts on the kart track overlooking Sonoma Raceway but never had the chance to race on the iconic circuit until now.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to race alongside my friend Allen and the Thunder Bunny Racing family,” Hayes said. “We’ve come a long way together, and I’m excited to take this next step with TBR. Our team has so much potential, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve on a bigger stage.”
“We are thrilled to join GT4 America in what is a monumental year for Thunder Bunny Racing,” said Bill Graham, Team Owner of Thunder Bunny Racing. “The series is incredibly competitive, and entering the AM class with Allen and Laura behind the wheel is a huge step for us. We have an exceptional team, an incredible car, and an unwavering determination to learn, grow, and fight for strong results in our first season. We’re looking forward to the challenge ahead and can’t wait to get started.”
Oore Jewelry is the title sponsor for the season. Oore Jewelry is a woman owned and operated business that creates unique handcrafted engagement rings. Uma Gordin started Oore Jewelry at age 18 with a dream of creating fantasy inspired works for others to cherish.
Uma also enjoys getting behind the steering wheel when she can, and she is proud to support Allen and Laura’s efforts.
The team will make their debut at Sonoma Raceway from March 28th to 30th.
