BJR to HOLDEN?? (MERGED x2)
Whispers from the powder room suggest that a change may be in the air for one of V8 Supercar's long serving teams.
It has been suggested by the powderettes that a change in brand has been agreed To Holden! But allegedly not just any Holden... Full works spec WP supported brand new VE Commodores! Announcement scheduled for 11am tomorrow Assuming any of this actually happened |

Its not really taking them on if the cars are supplied by them. Mr Radisich may be part of the equation though.

Big call GTR from the powder room, but as someone else said, this all that the supertaxi series needs is two more WP cars. And will there be some noses put out of place on the dark side of the fence.

I think its a great move for BJR... I think you might discover just how good the talent at BJR is with a common object under them

How strong is the rumour GTR? I received a phone call at work last night that that maybe what the announcement would be.

If it's true, the first thing I would do is get rid of A. Jones and put in someone like Luke Youlden who could really get the best out of this car. I am awaiting 11AM tomorrow now!! |

Will BJR also re-brand as JBR! Now that Bradders is not a'pedlin, is it time to rebrand as "JONES BROTHERS RACING".

if this is true then which holden team is muted to change sides. I am guessing that it may be Mr Sirromet..........this is purely my speculation.

Not that i know of unless the pressure is coming from VESA/TEGA. I would think Ford would have to come up with some money to get a team to switch. PWR i would think would be the only team that may be interested now.

Well, if this is true, Kudos to Brad and Kim. It takes big men to stand up and say "we're simply not good enough" They've done this before with their engine dept and switched to the gun SBR units, but even that didn't move them up from scrapping for 24th.
What success, if any, could now be credited to their team, which has done SFA on their own merit? it will it be simply the strength of numbers coming out of Clayton. Motorsport dies just a little more......... |
