Why BJR is running new liveries

Heimgartner testing livery

By Thomas Miles

Brad Jones Racing (BJR) turned a few heads at the busy Winton pre-enduros Supercars test by running new liveries.

Whilst Bryce Fullwood and Jaxon Evans retained their familiar paint schemes, both Andre Heimgartner and Macauley Jones rolled out with completely new looks.

Instead of driving with the usual red and white R and J Batteries, Heimgartner’s #8 Camaro he is sharing with Declan Fraser featured Dunlop yellow.

A familiar backer was on the panels of Jones #96 Camaro he is sharing with Jordan Boys as Pizza Hut being replaced by Automotive Superstore branding that was the driver’s major sponsor at a number of races in 2022.

However, these looks are only making one-off cameos with the original looks returning at the Sandown 500.

BJR took to social media to reveal the new liveries are for the Winton test only to be used for promotional filming.

“Andre and Macca are running some different colours for our test days,” the team stated on social media.

“Dunlop Tyres Australia & New Zealand and Automotive Superstore are doing some filming while we’re on track and have taken over the cars.

“A big thank you to Pizza Hut and R&J Batteries for allowing the cars to have a bit of a change for the test.”

It had not been a smooth day for BJR as Bryce Fullwood speared into the Turn 3 gravel following a brake pad change.

However, the BJR team repaired the #14 Camaro to ensure Fullwood and co-driver Jaylyn Robotham could get some more much-needed track time.
