SMALL FIELD FOR MALLALA OPENER DOESNT FAZE KUMHO SERIES
“Multiple drivers have stepped up to the Dunlop Series in V8 Supercars and while it may have affected our grids for 2014 is a great advertisement for our series.
“There are plenty of teams and drivers out there keen to run during the course of the season and I have no doubt we will see more cars and faces pop up as the year goes on.
“Weve added Craig Baird this year as Driving Standards Observer signed a long-term tyre deal with Kumho return to Wakefield Park in October and have a new final round venue at Sydney Motorsport Park so there are plenty of positive talking points heading into the new season.
A range of drivers including Matt Hansen Josh Kean Dan Day and Morgan Haber have moved on to the Dunlop Series full-time while a handful of teams including Image Racing have elected to focus on running cars in the DVS without a simultaneous program in the Kumho Series.
Three of last years Kumho Series rounds saw field sizes of 20 or more cars; such has been the growth in the series which started with just a handful of cars at Mallala in 2008.
Round 1 of the 2014 Kumho Series will be held this weekend on April 26/27 at Mallala Motorsport Park in South Australia.
