Part of what makes time attack racing so interesting is the wide range of vehicles that enter and there is certainly none more diversified than Jared Sutton in the VU SS Holden utility with support from suspension gurus Sydney Shock Absorbers who are the Australian agent for Bilstein.
Returning to the Clubsprint class for the second year, this car now has had another year of development with a bigger wheel and brake package some more suspension tweaks that has seen lap times tumble in recent months.
“The ute is a perfect showcase for my sponsors Sydney shock absorbers” said Jared “ it really does demonstrate that they can get the absolute best out of any car, and what better place to showcase it than Superlap.” The Ute is powered by a tuned LS1 engine with a 6 speed manual box and is one of the few V8s entered in a field of hi tech turbo cars.
