Archer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The last question before Friday

Has BJR retained Ozemail, or not?

I have heard alot of theories from many a people, but wheres the proof?

The proof being that they were testing the cars in Ozemail colours only hours before they had to line up at Albert Park, proof enough for me!

yep it is interesting. i think that we might see a second sponsor on the BJ car, again its just my opinion I could be way off, maybe thats why there not commiting to ozemail racing.

I thought there was talk of Ozemail scaleing back sponsorship, this would explain the dropping of naming rights and then Harvey Norman stepping in to top the overall $$'s up?

well the BJR truck left Albury the other day still with Ozemail colours on it , but that doesnt really mean alot cause it costs a fair bit of cash to repaint the truck.

Yes I think we should just all wait until BJR announce what they are doing, they have had a hard enough time because of rumours so far this season......

The owner of that race team who has posted here before chooses to post on this forum very selectively -in this case he seems to be missing in action for his own defence.
Possibly then he is not interested in what this forum says - the same as his teamate.?

Hypothetically, if I was a major ISP company, I am not sure if I would want to be sponsoring a race team when the series broadcaster is well and truly in bed with a rival broadband ISP company................hypothetically of course.......

00 XR8, thats the reason you WOULD want to sponsor a car in the series. Ambush Marketing 101.

Regardless of whether (I hope I have the right version of whether!!!) they have kept Ozmail or not, one day out from 2004 racing, you'd think they would know what sponsor(s) will be on there car at the AGP.. How hard is it to keep the fans informed?????

They circulated a press release yesterday filled with the word "Ozemail". Read into that what you like...

I remember late last year people were swept into a tizz saying that shell had packs its bags when the team was refered to as "DJR" in a press release.

Maybe I should issue a press release saying that the world's finishing...

The cars are still branded Ozemail at the track (I didnt take a pic... they put them away after the practice session to quickly) and are now both green and white.

Interesting to see is the support for this team by Mobil...

Each second that goes past is a second closer to your ultimate demise. Is that worth a press release?
