Appears a few of the Australian V8 utes have deported to New Zealand.
http://www.velocitynews.co.nz/news.php?id=2671 Probably failed their good character test. |

Looks like these 'super' utes are the closest thing to production cars as you'll get. Mimicking their road going counterparts to a tee.
Pity Toyota is the only manufacturer that offers a 4L V6 petty. This would a been a faster and cheaper way to go. A calendar for overcast days perhaps? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk |

First session saw 9 SuperUtes make the track. Eleven seconds from first to ninth.

Or alternatively, the greatest gap betweent first to ninth:
SuperUtes first to ninth: 11 seconds Improved Production first to ninth: 3 seconds Super2 first to ninth: 0.8 seconds Touring Car Masters first to ninth: 3 seconds Carrera Cup first to ninth: 1.6 seconds. |

Haven't verified but supposedly laptimes were faster than V8Utes first entry at Adelaide?

Speedcafe says the fastest time in the first ever V8 Utes session was 1:48.1, with their fastest ever lap being 1:36.6 in 2016. I didn't realize there had been that much of an increase in pace - what area was all the development in with those cars?

Faster slower who cares- its like watching grass grow compared to Robby Gordon's flying circus.
Doesnt even compare. At least you have spectacle with the Stadium trucks. With the SuperUtes its like watching a bunch of tradies duelling in peak hour and one doesnt have to be trackside to see that. |

But still no matter what gap from first to last was the least of all the fields Also the gap between an v8 ute and a super ute is also less than the gap between a GT3 and Gt4 which are also racing against each other this weekend funnily enough an old v8 ute is about the same pace as a whiz bang gt4 |

Not entirely true, I chose Top 9 because that's the number that hit the track in the first session. And to bag the utes out. Luckily in the second session there is a Top 10, and the difference between first and tenth was 16 seconds.

I don't get it, what's your fascination with V8 Utes and GT cars? No one else mentioned cars from different categories, just SuperUte v SuperUte. |
