A lot of it has to do with sponsorship of the telecast, and buying of advertising space. For instance, last year Steven Johnson had an in-car camera sponsored by Shell Helix. Now that Westpoint sponsor the team, and haven't bought advertising time on TEN, the chances of an in-car camera are nil. Greg Murphy has an in-car camera due to SuperCheap Auto being a sponsor of the telecast. Holden and Ford have individual in-car cameras they allocate to Mark Skaife and Marcos Ambrose. VB has one, as does Caltex for Russell Ingall. It's all sponsorship, and not TEN favouritism, even though it does seem like it at times.

Let's not forget that CUB still sponsor DJR!
I believe that it costs the team to have an in-car Camera, so they usually offer naming rights to a sponsor that is prepared to wear the cost i.e. "Dunlop RaceCam". I can't believe that DJR have had a camera in one of their cars for the last few years, and now that they are the most competetive that they have been since 2001, they no longer have one. What happened to the in-car camera GT had for the first round?
