2010 sees a change in the marketing strategy for Pickup Truck Racing initially being actioned by changes to the bodywork that had been used for the last thirteen years. The new styling will follow similar distinguishing features of current production pickup trucks. This has been introduced to enable teams to source local dealership support of the marques they have chosen.


In addition to the body changes a new engine has been introduced to the Pickup Truck Championship to reduce the accelerating costs of the highly tuned GM engine. Introducing the new controlled Ford Ranger 2.3 Duratec Truck engine will offer new drivers and teams a cost effective alternative when joining the Championship.


The controlled engine package will include core OE engine, uprated connecting rods, pistons, high lift cam shaft with springs and hardware, inlet manifold and throttle bodies, wet sump system and controlled ECU.


The engine is tuned to replicate similar torque and horsepower to the GM unit it is replacing. The engine package will be cost effective to purchase, easy to service by competent team mechanics and the build components will be supplied as off the shelf items.


The Pickup Management Team recognised the need for change and actioned a plan that will not only assist a number of the teams and existing sponsors and trade support partners to the Championship, but most importantly encourage others to join the adrenalin fuelled gladiatorial theatre motorsport named Pickup Truck Racing.

Aim of the award:
This award is just for a bit of fun and is aimed as giving those drivers who are just outside of podium finishes and the glory associated with it a chance to compete for an award (it won't be worth much and might even just be a printed certificate!)

Eligibility:
1. Previous race winners are excluded from the award.
2. If any driver achieves a podium finish at any point throughout the current year, they will also be removed from the table.

Point scoring:
1. Points for the races will be as per the official championship (i.e. 200 points for first, 195 for second, and dropping 5 points for every position after that).
2. 10 bonus points will be awarded to any driver still in the award who obtained the following;
Fastest lap time in qualifying session 1.
Fastest lap time in qualifying session 2.
Fastest lap time in race 1.
Fastest lap time in race 2.
Fastest lap time in race 3 (where applicable)
