Dakar winner Price linked with SuperUtes drive
10 Feb 2018
The 2016 bikes winner of the Dakar Rally, Toby Price is thought to be in the mix for a circuit racing debut in the ECB SuperUtes Series this year.
Price became the first Australian to win a class of the gruelling cross-country rally in 2016 on a KTM, and also finished third in ’15 and in last month’s ’18 edition.
Mitsubishi uses brand ambassador Price in its marketing campaign for the Triton, including a series of national television commercials.
The manufacturer and Price posted identical images on social media on Friday afternoon indicating a joint announcement is due to be made on Wednesday, February 14.
Craig Dontas is a confirmed starter in one of the Sieders Racing Team-built cars.
The new platform features turbo-diesel, dual-cab models from six manufacturers and starts at next month’s Supercars season-opening Adelaide 500.
All six models will take to the track this week at Queensland Raceway, in a parity test, before the eight-round series.
