I'm not that worried personally about CO2 but there are many who are and seeing a field of utes possible smoking around (bear in mind they'll have modified exhausts so may smoke less than a stock vehicle) may give them ammo to throw at the series and motor sport in general - that is my concern. It is a question of perception and in particular how the series might be perceived and used by those outside the sport.

yove misinterpreted what mixer said. he said it creates 10% more per litre used but uses less fuel. thats assuming things are equal
however a turbo diesel in a super ute, uses much less fuel that a v8 ute or a lambo.
so here is your numbers
A ford Ranger produces about 240g CO2 per Km, a Ford V8 ute produces about 320g perKM and a Gt3 lambo uses around 400g per KM
So moving to super utes will produce less CO2 than the utes currently run. that would be a win based on your theory
modern diesels have particle filters that significantly reduce particle particles. I suspect you will see very little balck smoke,
