As I sit here on Saturday evening reading this, it's amazing that you people actually took the time to respond - very nice of you. DJR is going to nail things next year, I am sure, but hats off to Mitch and BeeJay who got lapped with this thing when I fell over - Kudos to them both!!

One thing DJR are doing Joe, that's keeping everyone guessing. So many bull**** rumours flying around & I bet old Dick's just sitting back having a great old laugh, & good on him, knowing everything is in place for a full on assault on the 2005 ATCC.
Personally I don't think Seton would have signed on if there wasn't a budget in place for the next few years. That would have been one of the first questions Seto would have asked team management. Although I still think there may be another sponser (who ever that might be) alongside Shell next year.

Guys I have an inside source from DJR, thats all I can say on that...
All the info I can get is the new sponsor is blue and white, and starts with a "W"
All I can come up with is "Big W"? I know it doesn't start with "W" but thats all I can come up with.
No matter what I say, thats all the info he'll give up.
Any guesses?

Good things come to those who wait, we've waited so long for a win a few more weeks for the big mystery to be solved wont kill us. Of everything I have read the blue colours tying in with OPTIMAX makes sense with an associate sponsor, as long as the future is secure I can handle waiting as long as it takes.
Sounds like they will be Beejay. Seton's new #18 BA should be nearly completed which gives the team their 4th BA. Whether they choose to leave one as a spare for the main series & still run one AU for Denyer & have Canto drive the BA could be another possibility, that's if they have any AU's left as they were advertised in various Motorsport magazines 3 or 4 months ago for sale. If they have been sold or not I don't know, but running 4 BA's would have to be the only option if they truely want to be competitive in both series..
Joe, I don't particularly care who the naming rights sponsor is & with Shell still heavily involved with DJR for another 3 years I, for one couldn't care if the main sponsor was xyz.
If shell had left DJR & went to another team I would'nt be a happy camper, but they haven't & chose to stay with DJR for another 3 years, if only as a support sponsor.
What us DJR supporters want more than anything else Joe is to see that famous #17 (& #18) back at front of Australian Touring Car Racing in this country & if that means things have to change along the way for that to happen, than so be it..

I think you guys will find that Shell WON'T be heavily involved with DJR at all. The press release appears to be heavily sugar-coated detailing information about DJR that we already know. If you read between the lines, I would not be suprised if the release is implying that Shell is nothing more than a fuel and lubes supplier and is no longer a sponsor as such. I am expecting the cars to carry very little (if any) Shell Helix branding this year. In a roundabout sort of a way, I think Shell has announced they are no longer a sponsor of DJR. Funny also how the release is not from DJR, rather a Shell release posted on the DJR website. Looks like Shell got their version in first!
That being the case, I too do not care who the major sponsor of the team is now. I am first and foremost a DJR supporter and will support the sponsors that support the team. Lets hope they can move further up the field in 2005.
