Just been to DJR site - no pics there.

Official launch was supposed to be this saturday coming at Bris Motor Show - dont know why this came today. Maybe while channel 7 had their cameras down that end of Brisbane to see SBR they might have gone to DJR for a look

Also on v8 central a guy has posted a link to djr club17 and has some pics there

With a talent like Steve the Meister driver who would not have a lot of sponsors wanting to bask in the reflected glory.
Look at another post and you will see that I had inside information on the 2008 livery
We are concentrating on results not pretty Pictures

nice although i prefered last years.

Suttory · 5 Feb 2008, 10:05 (Ref:2121467)

Not all that brilliant. Could have put in more effort.

TSR · 5 Feb 2008, 10:19 (Ref:2121483)

Have to agree, last years car looked better, but it could grow over the year. It does look like Jnr has lost more weight.

db120176 · 5 Feb 2008, 10:41 (Ref:2121503)

I know it's less practical, but I would have liked them to have one red and one black this year

seems to be the storey of the year with the turnout of most liveries so far.

Hey, some of you "experts" complaining that the liveries are not that brilliant.
Have you looked and noticed that most of them are "clean" and you can actually read the sponsors name. I think that is the message that is supposed to be gotten across, not all the pretty colours and wild graphics. Some times the simplest things are the best.

i like the bright simple effective ones that stand out like HRT (except for the Toll logo), BOC, DJR (although i prefered last years simple design), but some of them this year just look half done with the logo's slapped on, the design dosn't incorperat the logo's to much like #9.

That's a good point but note the Jim Beam logo cropped off by the side window and the black area! If they changed the sides they really should have changed the front, adding larger black areas so it matches the sides and gives the whole car a 'fresh' look... while still retaining the same basic colours, layout and design so they can still be identified.

Obviously the FRSR and PWR cars have gone all in with logos blended in with 'crazy' graphics, clearly on a plain well done livery the sponsors are more legible. Yet looks must be something as SBR opted for silver on the Courtney car even though the white background shows the sponsors better

Looks the same as last year. But I like it. One of the neatest so far this year.

Couldn't see "No Limit" on the cars - but if you look at one of the club 17 photos with will and steve at the side of the car you can make out a no limits logo on wills left shoulder
