New Triton joins SuperUte series in Adelaide

Team Triton Racing will add a third vehicle to it’s line up for the 2019 SuperUtes series, kicking off at the Superloop Adelaide 500 this weekend.

Thanks to yet more support from Mitsubishi Motors Australia, the team will field a new MT Triton the track, and this third car will be driven by Elliot Barbour and Cameron Crick with dual Dakar Rally Champion Toby Price also driving for the team in selected rounds.

Mitsubishi increased its factory support for Team Triton Racing just as new improvements to the SuperUte Series in 2019 arose, including new race tyres, lower ride heights, more performance and louder exhausts.

“The whole team did a fantastic job last season and this year we have ambassador Toby Price racing again at selected events,” says Mitsubishi Australia deputy director of sales Tim Hore.

“We have added an additional Triton this year for Toby and Craig Dontas to share the racing in this year’s series.

We also have two very talented full-time drivers in Elliot Barbour and Cameron Crick who are more than capable of taking a place on the podium,” says Hore.

Team Triton’s two full-time cars will be driven by Elliot Barbour in the #78 Mitsubishi Motors Triton and Cameron Crick in the #7 Total Tools Triton.

Price has signed on to contest selected rounds this year in the #87 Triton but due to injuries sustained at the 2019 Dakar Rally, he is unable to compete at the Supercars Championship opener in Adelaide. Taking his place in the event at the Superloop 500 will be Craig Dontas, who drove in several SuperUte rounds last year.
“I need to focus on my recovery and will be back in the driver’s seat later this year,” says Price. “Although I won’t be on track, I’m looking forward to joining the Mitsubishi crew in Adelaide to watch the races.”
