Ozemail resign
Ozemail have resigned with Brad Jones motorsport for 2 years and Ford have accepted Brad as a fully funded level one ford team.
Jones says "this is great news for the team allowing us to plan for the next 2 years knowing our funding is secure" extra funding for the team could also add more speculation into a 2nd car for BJR.. well done Brad I guess Ozemail were very impressed after their performance at bathurst. |

 Excellent news for Brad and the team. |

hehehehe...tricky word that one isnt it ?
sorry DNQ. This was a little piece done on my local news tonight (thursday) but after watching I have become a little confused. Am I lead to believe that Brad Jones was not a Factory Ford supported team ? I was under the impression that he already was..doesnt matter now i guess because he will be going into next year. they got me going by saying in the build up to the sports section that Brad Jones racing announce exciting news for 2002...I thought i was about to hear that Bowe had signed to drive a 2nd car or something like that ...but it was only this announcement ...good news indeed but with the build up they gave it i was expecting more  but at least now with their funding in place this could lead to bigger announcements in the near future !!! |

If BJR got hold of John Bowe then perhaps Ford might even toss a little more moolah their way ?

They did get some help from Ford, but not at anywhere the same level as DJR,FTR and Gibson.
One thoing do well is pr. In the lead up to Bathurst they got great PR milage for one of their sponsors ,Lauda Air, by creating constant speculation over the arrival of John Cleland, and his eventual succesfull arrival by Lauda Air. Now there is a airline that just has to be a sponsor for a motor racing team. |

Hmmm...don't think so...all the airlines are in quit a bit of strife at the moment with recent world events.
There are some other big companies out there that should be sponsoring a V8, McDonalds, Coca Cola, KFC or Pizza Hut just to name a few. Imagine the advertising campaign a pizza deilvery chain could launch with Pizzas being delieverd by a V8 Supercar. |
