GHOGH should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The current V8 Aus ute teams(who want to stay with V8 utes rather than building diesl utes with unknown running costs) might talk to the https://historicracing.com.au/ in many places the historics pull good crowds. There is also livestreaming now if the V8 utes want to avoid the live broadcast television companies for wider coverage and do delayed highlights packages. The Kumho series is another place for the V8 utes http://v8touringcars.com.au/ (for 5 rounds) and at the Aus GT events that the Superutes are not at.

I cannot imagine the NZ v8 ute teams want to park up or throw away their V8 utes. Hopefully there will be some cheap V8 race utes that can be used in NZ when the Australian teams have finished with them.

"Sieders is unsure whether or where he will be racing next season when the SuperUtes category – featuring dual-cab, diesel-powered utes – takes over.

“There’s lots of things up in the air depending on how many people from the current series actually go across,’’ he said.

“I’ve already heard talk of other people coming into the category because of how excited they are about the new ute.

“There’s definite optimism at the moment, so hopefully we get the build specs pretty soon so we can start working out manufacturers and all that sort of stuff."
