The expanded V8 Utes field at Mount Panorama will feature three new entries from the New Zealand V8 Ute Series.
The extra Kiwi entries has seen the V8 Utes organisers re-introduce the third-running of the Trans Tasman Challenge crown.
At this stage, the Auto One V8 Utes Series – protected by Armor All, is expecting close to 40 Utes to enter the Bathurst event.
James Urquart, Peter Ward and Peter Robb will represent New Zealand to try and reclaim the title, which was last won by Australian and Kiwi V8 Ute Champion Chris Pither at Hamilton in 2010.
