Sonic Motor Racing Services is a V8 Supercar team that is competing in the second-tier Australian V8 Supercar series, the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series and Australia's largest open wheeler category Formula Ford, competing in both the Australian Formula Ford Championship and the Victorian Formula Ford Championship. The team's 2011 drivers are Tim Blanchard and Rodney Jane in V8 Supercars, and Nicholas Foster, Cameron Waters, Garry Jacobson and Mathew Brabham in Formula Ford.
The team was formed by Michael Ritter, son of long time touring car racer Graham Ritter and brother of V8 Supercar racer Greg Ritter.
Ritter formed the team in 1998 as a Formula Ford team, using Van Diemen chassis for the first decade of their existence, which brought them championship victories in the Australian Formula Ford Championship in 2001 (Will Davison), 2002 (Jamie Whincup), 2004 (David Reynolds) and 2007 (Tim Blanchard).
The team also ran Australian Carrera Cup and won the championship in 2007 giving David Reynolds his second national title. The team ran programs in the Porsche Drivers Challenge, steering Sven Burchartz to win the 2007 Porsche Drivers Challenge, then backing it up winning the 2008 Porsche GT3 Challenge that succeeded it.
