You aren't doing your friend any favours by saying you heard it from him and then saying he works for Chris.

I don't mind the livery except where the #14 is. That looks a little silly.

So what did we learn?

- BJR now uses Catia CAD software to design their race car components
- Poor old Ion is gone from the line up (Their casting plant in Wingfield is still for sale if you want to buy it)
- No more Dexion?

The design is interesting, the pics in the above, and the rest on the BJR website dont show that blue off very well, seems to be impacted by the light... in the front shot its a lighter blue than the others

yeah the blue is alot deeper and darker in real life.

it simply doesnt show up as nice in pictures.

One thing I did notice is different sponsors on the rear wing end plates , not sure why that is

I think it was discussed in the driver/team changes thread,

someone suggested that maybe he's after a change of luck, after finishing 21 running in car 21, maybe he's looking to jump up a couple of spots this year.

maybe he could shed some light on it?

14 is supposed to be unlucky in the Chinese numbering mythology though...

21 hasn't been that lucky. has any other driver spent the same amount of time on their roof as Brad?

I like the paint job, some of the other cars can be a bit over the top ie. SCAR

the new cars look pretty good i reckon!


and RS500, i dont think that SCAR livery is that busy, 888 would have to be the busiest livery out there!

Did you realise that a cheaper pair of Wiss snips will outlast a pair of Snap-On's.......?
Even if continually cutting 4130.
