BJR completes livery reveals with R&J Chevrolet

Brad Jones Racing has taken the covers off its final Gen3 machine for the 2023 season after revealing the R&J Batteries-backed Camaro to be driven by Andre Heimgartner.

Heimgartner heads into the new campaign bidding to build on an encouraging 2022 season that saw him finish inside the top ten in the standings, having scored four podium finishes over the course of the year.

R&J was the primary backer of Heimgartner’s Holden Commodore last season, with the Kiwi keen to try impress on track in the new Chevrolet.

“This car looks pretty epic and it’s going to be a bit of a beast, the R&J Batteries colours really fit the Camaro,” he said.

“Gen3 is one of the biggest changes in Supercars and our team has worked night and day to be ready and have the best cars possible.

“I’m aiming to repay them and R&J Batteries for their hard work and support.”

Team owner Brad Jones said he firmly expected Heimgartner to make an impression on track during the year ahead.

“It’s a real tick having R&J Batteries on board again with Andre for this year,” he said. “They’re great partners and we look forward to more podiums and hopefully a couple of wins — nobody knows what the form guide is yet for Gen3 and we’re definitely aiming to capitalise on the shake up.

“The car looks great and as long as we have done our job right, and I have no doubt our crew have done everything they can, Andre should be a contender this year.”
