DJR and Ford Sponsorship.

[ROB17]

I wouldn't expect to hear anything until mid January at the earliest, more than likely to be announced just before the official test day in February.

100% Poita! Can't wait but I'm sure the news will be what we want to hear. Just to what extent DJR will be supported is anyone's guess.

Any truth to the rumour that djr have been asked to put the Ford logo on their supporters gear?

 

[Car61]

That's the story I heard!

It won't be on the 1st batch (as thay are already made/delivered) but will be on the next order [y]

 

[Bartman09]

Auto Action has said that DJR approached Ford to be able to put the logo on their merchandise but the Ok came through to late to make it onto the first batch.

 

[Poita]

More or less official now that DJR have secured Ford backing for 2010.

 

[Rob]

but is the Ford money any good i mean look where fpr and stone bros, finished compared to DJR

 

[Car61]

It's not "The Money"....... It's what you do with it that counts!!!!!

 

[Hardies Hero]

anything is better than what we had

 

[ROB17]

I wouldn't expect Ford to provide anything substantial to DJR in 2010.

FPR still have 2 years on their current contract and SBR's contract expires at the end of this year.

Maybe the pie will be re-cut within the next 18 months but I'm still stoked that Ford and back in the DJR fold.

I am going to the workshop this arvo. I will see if I can squeeze any info out of anyone.

I expect that for 2010 it is probably more about having that blue oval back on the front of the car and across the windscreen on the DJR cars. As Car61 has noted, the first batch of merchandise will not have the Ford logo on it, but the next batch will do.

Cheers
John

I would rather SuperMax stays on the windscreen. They stepped up when Ford bailed and were probably contracted to be on the front screen. Ford should have to earn their right IMO.

I'm with you Rob.

i bagged Ford more than anyone for bailin on DJR and will be more than happy to see Ford back as a sponsor for our mighty team!
