BJR reveals new liveries for Super2 rookies
Bowser Bean Cafe has jumped aboard Cody Gillis’ Commodore
Teenager Elliott Cleary will carry backing from Sync Music
Brad Jones Racing has revealed the new liveries for rookies Cody Gillis and Elliott Cleary, who will debut in the Dunlop Series at this weekend's Thrifty Bathurst 500.
Bowser Bean Cafe has jumped aboard Gillis’ Commodore, while teenager Cleary will carry backing from Sync Music.
Coca-Cola has also expanded its involvement with BJR, with the bonnet, rear wing and roof of Gillis' Commodore all featuring the iconic branding of Coca-Cola.
Both rookies are no stranger to Bathurst, having raced at the Mountain last November in Trans Am.
Gillis and Elliott recently tested their Commodores at Winton Motor Raceway ahead of their debuts, with BJR expanding to two cars for 2024 after running a single entry for Lochie Dalton last year.
"To have the support from Bowser Bean Cafe for my debut in Super2 is amazing. I cannot thank them enough for coming on board," Gillis said.
"The car looks terrific. The BJR guys have not only produced a great looking race car, I know they’ve been hard at work preparing for this weekend. Having the back-to-back test days was very useful for the whole squad, so we’re really set up to head into the first round on the front foot."
Cleary said: "Being able to reveal the livery is the last piece of the puzzle before I get in the car this weekend, so I’m pretty excited by it all," Cleary said.
"It looks like a fast race car and I’m ready to head out on to the Mountain this weekend. I’ve had a whirlwind couple of months with racing in NZ and testing here in Australia but I’ve been looking forward to coming back to Bathurst the whole time. Can’t wait to get this season underway."
Team owner Jones added: "It's great seeing international companies like Coca Cola Europacific Partners and Aussie companies like Bowser Bean giving young kids a helping hand to realise their dreams."
Dunlop Series action will commence at Mount Panorama on Friday February 23, with the weekend headlined by two 40-minute races. Tickets are on sale now.
