Description:
V8 Utes - The Australian V8 Ute Racing Category was conceived in 2000 and launched March 2001 at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.
The series was a smash, literally, and the fans loved it. Now, 16 identical Ford XR8 V8's and 16 Holden SS Commodores make up the entire field with a stellar cast of drivers that just love showbiz
The Ute's are production based with limited modifications and extremely close lap times, making for some serious on track 'bump 'n grind.
Holden driver Rod Wilson was the inaugural V8 Ute Champion, but Ford fought back in 2002 and 2003 with Sydney's, Warren Luff, taking back to back victories.
Holden again returned to form in 2004 with Damien White taking the series title, before defecting to Ford and taking the title again in 2005 by a narrow margin to Melbourne's Marcus Zukanovic.
