Holden ute race series

[stevieturbo]

When I was at Autosport on Sunday, I was approached by a guy...who as usual, I have no recollection of his name lol Im terrible with names.

Anyway, he mentioned he was setting up a race series, commencing next year I think. Consisting of Holden Utes.

Sort of yearly lease agreement where you hire the car for the season. 2 driver races, and a prize fund for teh season around £100k !!

Prices for the vehicle hire and entries didnt seem horrendously bad, although no idea what sort of other costs would be involved.

Seemed like a cool venture anyway, and should be fun to see.

Did he mention any rough figures for season costs? I'm guessing around the £50k mark?

[stevieturbo]

25k vehicle hire for the year with approx 25k entries and costs is what I picked up.

As to other costs if any, I have no idea.

And a 100k prize fund, although no idea how thats distributed.

I'd imagine externally provided and built cars wouldnt be eligable for a one make race series where all cars are supplied by the organisers of the event with sealed engines etc

[raving]

I have a sealed brute ute engine

[stevieturbo]

sealed for that particular race series and spec etc ?

So you know a little more about it ?

[raving]

My engine is from the brute ute aussie series,I know nothing about the one in this country.
Even if my ute doesnt comform to the uk series the VE has got a full supercar spec cage inc big wheel tubs
