Redrourke Racing - The Team
Redrourke Racing is the team name of ThunderCat #27. The team name was taken from the company that helped Jon and Edd Redman get established in powerboat racing, Redrourke Solutions Limited. Both Jon and Edd have dreamed of racing powerboats since they first stepped aboard Dad’s Phantom 18 and felt the thrill of speed on the water.

1st Season Success
In 2009, Jon and Edd were the youngest combined aged team ever to race in the UK ThunderCat series - Edd applied for his RYA Powerboat Licence on his 16th Birthday! During their first season, they achieved a podium position at every event, finished 3rd overall in the P750S class and were awarded Newcomer of the Year at the ThunderCat annual prize giving. With the ThunderCat world championships being held in the UK in 2012 this family team are working hard to realise a place on the national team.
