DJR to Launch on Feb 18th!

Just been reading the official DJR website which says that they will be launching there new car, livery and drivers at a private sponsor function being held at DJR's Headquarters.
It also says that they will be featuredon Sports Tonighton the 18th and in Auto Action and Wheels magazine. Hopefully the livery will be a lot different than previous liveries.

From what I've Heard around the traps, you can expect a radically different looking DJR fleet.

A Newly Painted ( and not in Helix Colours) Transporter was seen in the near vicinity of Emrie Street at Stapylton Yesterday. Believed to be DJR's.

Do you have news as to what the sponsorship package is? I believe Shell is still the main Sponsor.

From What I was told the Transporter was a silver/white/green combination.
I dont know for sure if it was a DJR one or for another team and just happened to be in very close proximity to DJR HQ.
We will just have to wait and see.

That would sound like VB would be the major sponsor if that were true. I thought that Shell would still be the major sponsor.

I had a thought that it may have belonged to another team, New Team or Konica Team. Is DJR helping prepare anyones Konica Cars, Selling AU's to anyone for Konica etc ???

It was in those colours but apparently had absolutely no signwriting on it at all

The ex head honcho of VB's parent company CUB is now steering the ship at Stapylton. Coincidence?

MN shows the Konica car dtoday, a dk grey metallic painwork round the rear, a flash of dk blue, and white in the rest of it

The car is under a cover so you dont see it all...

The sponsor name is in a blue circle, but no its not Ford

I was out at DJR last week and the Konica car was yellow silver and white with a big Biante cars on the bonnet. The Shell cars were All yellow with what looked like a white tear across the middle with red either side of the tear. (maybe to simulate split sponsorship)? I also saw the Transporter at that paint shop and again it was all yellow with the white and red. There was no green on it when I saw it. The livies are nothing like last years.

That means the one my "informant" saw was NOT Djr's then.

Of you look at the DJR logo on their website, its a lowercase 'djr' with the 'j' extended under the 'd', as in the photo

This is Dick's Konica car that will be raced by Tony Ricciardello, check out the rear passenger window, you can just make out the start of his name.
