It is reported on the front cover of MN today.... DJR + Jim Beam

Whispers from the powder room suggest that while this is a 'saviour' deal, it is not (nowhere near?) at the $6.75m per annum level identified by the TEGA spending proposals....

SSbaby · 19 Dec 2006, 22:11 (Ref:1795208)

Good. That means less money for the cricket.

Nice to know Jim Beam read my posts!

So is this a saving gesture from FPR to DJR as the Jim Beam signage was supposed to appear on the FPR cars in 07.

The powder room was led to believe that Jim Beam had probably 15 proposals from various motor sport teams in the main series and development series alike. The proposals went from full car signage (DJR & some development series cars) to part signage (like FPR)

It seems the decision made last Friday was to support the DJR equipe at full car signage.

But there were a number of other options that looked far prettier in car design than the one on the cover of MN....

Presuming any of this actually happened

And not just drivers either. The Saturday at Clipsal this year was an absolute stinker. By the time I got home to Melbourne that night I felt like I'd walked 100 miles thru the desert.

A summer series would confine me to the tv.

Just return from and the shops and in the latest issue of auto action they had the djr-jin beam livery,it looks great, i have said to my brother once perkins announced that they had JD as their major sponsor that so or later jim beam will do the same thing.

STEVO · 20 Dec 2006, 01:37 (Ref:1795331)

Can anyone scan in the pic of the proposed JB livery?

Peter Ford · 20 Dec 2006, 01:43 (Ref:1795335)

Now all we will be seeing at race meeting will be Jack Daniels and Jim Beam T-shirts everywhere.

Exceler8 · 20 Dec 2006, 01:49 (Ref:1795339)

yes i would like to see the proposed DJR/jim beam livery

Trev Campbell · 20 Dec 2006, 02:37 (Ref:1795349)

I wonder if Dick will send LP a big christmas card. Without LP scoring the JD sponsorship this year I doubt Jim Beam would be interested in sponsoring anyone (Even though they did have a toe in the water stab a couple of years ago) DJR would esetially have been screwed without the dealings of a Holden team. Ha Ha.

Did Dick thank Craig Gore for bringing WPS to V8Supercar and therefore opening Westpoint up as an opportunity?

Trev Campbell · 20 Dec 2006, 03:02 (Ref:1795360)

Ha Ha Ha touché

spectator22 · 20 Dec 2006, 03:14 (Ref:1795368)

Hey Peter F, you must be hallucinating. AA has nothing. Its MN that has the livery on the cover! Mn also has another couple of huge stories (Ambrose NEXTEL CUP!!!! plus an intresting suggetsion that some V8 teams have been running a diff device in rear hubs WOW (see other threads)

**GTRMagic** · 20 Dec 2006, 06:23 (Ref:1795432)

The powder room has been a hive of activity today... wondering whether the DJR sponsorship from this newly-acquired division of Coca Cola shall see former Coke pimup boy Wayne Gardner join this squad for the enduro season...

Stranger things have happened

Chatters · 20 Dec 2006, 06:53 (Ref:1795444)

I think DJR would like both of their cars to come home in one piece at the enduros...

lookleft · 20 Dec 2006, 07:05 (Ref:1795450)

... not as much as they would like the money...

Does this Coke deal make DJR worth something?

The Bowdens made the right offer for some of the DJR museum !!

Surely Jim Beam would want at least one top line driver, a similar scenario to Perkins?

Raglanparade · 20 Dec 2006, 08:57 (Ref:1795513)

Surely Junior is top line....

peckstar · 20 Dec 2006, 09:00 (Ref:1795519)

i think Jim Beam are happy with the drivers they have. afterall they have a giy who has won more races than the current champion

Totally with you on this one , was at the dequetivelle terrace hairpin viewing for most of the day , after a largish day on the Friday , I was struggling big time just watching the action .

Poor old Steve Owen was all over the track for a few laps and then just trundled in to the fence when he blacked out right in front of where I was watching .

I was struggling in the heat that day , and I really felt for the drivers who would be 10 to 20c up on what I was experiencing , just glad Owen walked away from that as he was not in very good shape when they got him out of the car .

A summer series would be too much too take for the drivers in my opinion , these guys do really do have to work hard in the car in races such as Adelaide , they certainly earned their money that day

Back on topic , great to see a team like DJR secure their future , we don't need to see a foundation team and a legend of Australian motorsport have to leave due to a couple of years of bad luck with sponsors , good onya DJ let's see the team kick on from here

Very good!!

Off topic:
Reminds me of working security at Bon Jovi Eastern Creek in 199? A mass of people running down the hill towards the stage and Michael Chugg on stage through the PA yelling "You in the black T=Shirt....Stop running". Gee that that narrowed it down to about 2000 people! Guys in black t-shirts at a Bon Jovi concert....who would have thought...........
