That might work, if there's some resemblance or direct lineage to the dual-cab ute or SUV Joe Public or a potential race fan might have parked in their driveway.
The seismic shift in the public's vehicle buying preferences towards these SUV-type vehicles will otherwise surely mean the end of racing anything equivalent to their road vehicles out on the track.
Unless we're set to see SUV's, etc lumbering and rolling around Bathurst, etc as part of our 'premier series' in the future?
