Best BURNOUT Ute: The Utes in this category represent the pure muscle and science that take place in most Motorsport! Competitors often take great pride in their cars with very distinct presentations from the most flashiest and meanest looking to the most roughest, whatever the entrants’ taste be, the presentation of this Ute is only the beginning. They must demonstrate – without a physical demonstration, how their car could pull off the meanest skid. One that produces the most smoke at the highest revs for an extended period of time. This is done through raw horsepower, upgraded or speciality diffs and gearboxes, upgraded or adjusted air intake systems and adjusted weight distribution and/or suspension!
