2013 KUMHO V8 TOURING CAR SERIES CALENDAR CONFIRMED
“Weve found this years calendar worked well for the category so we saw no real need to make any significant changes said V8 Touring Car Series Commercial Manager Rob Curkpatrick.
“The series is continuing to grow and evolve and having this sort of stability in our calendar and venues is important.
“The numbers of cars taking to the grid this year have again been solid and a record-equalling 20 cars at the Winton round earlier in the season was testament to that.
“Theres significant interest in the category from drivers and teams seeing it as a viable and affordable avenue to race these types of cars.
The 2013 Kumho Series will kick off at Sydney Motorsport Park at Eastern Creek on March 22-24 the weekend after the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
Series organisers also confirmed that the V8 Heritage event for older model ex-V8 Supercars (Falcon EB to AU and Commodore VP to VX) will again go ahead at Wakefield Park on October 18-20.
