Some people know i love my motor racing but not happy with the regulations with the v8 supercars.
If you have seen the V8 supercars and like them take a look at the V8 ute series.
The V8 utes are still fast but not as fast as the supercars.There is always carnage and you can give the other utes a push and shove.Watching cars bang doors at 150+ mph is great stuff.The utes dont handle as well as the cars so the drivers throw the utes around like they are on marbles.
You will always see 2 to 5 cars side by side entering corners and the bravest hoping they survive at the other end but thats not normally the case.They use ford falcon utes and holden commodore utes only and the races are in new zealand and australia.Some of the V8 supercars drivers love the utes and race them for fun,even older racing drivers.They are everyday drive cars modified for racing and have equal power etc.
