Positive energy for R&J Batteries 2024 livery

Andre Heimgartner’s R&J Batteries Camaro has broken cover revealing the 2024 warpaint of the #8 Brad Jones Racing Chevrolet.

Heimgartner and R&J Batteries remain paired for another tour of the Supercars Championship and together have unveiled another spectacular livery designed by Peter Hughes.

With geometric shapes racing up the bodylines of the ZL1 and the rear panels taking on a darker shade, the Camaro is all around striking,

The fierce stature of the Camaro, painted with PPG and wrapped with thanks to 3M vinyl, provides a natural on-track beast - an imposing sight in the rearview mirror.

R&J Batteries have been on Heimgartner’s car since he arrived at BJR and together they’ve been a force to be reckoned with.

In July of last year R&J Batteries announced a two year sponsorship extension with BJR, taking the relationship to 2025.

Australia’s fastest growing battery company has been a part of the BJR family since 2020 and coming into the new Supercars season are excited to be paired again with the rising star of Heimgartner.

Heimgartner finished the previous year 7th in the Drivers’ Championship, making his mark with six podium finishers across the year and a pole position.

His sights are set higher coming into the fresh season armed with his engineer Tony Woodward, the quick Kiwi is hungry for more.

BJR are excited to welcome Harley Davidson back to the team for 2024, the iconic motorcycle manufacturer takes proud placement on the windshield banner of Heimgartner’s Camaro.

Also joining the #8 is John West Logistics and Hamilton Asphalts.

Returning partners on the #8 Camaro are, Blackwoods, Coca-Cola, Coregas, Dunlop, Fuchs, Hare and Forbes Machineryhouse, Lansvale Smash Repairs, Mack Trucks, Mastercam, Mongrel Boots, Mrs Macs, PPG, Summit, Unit, Wagga Motors and Speedflow.

Pictured by the beautiful and scenic Murray River, the #8 Camaro lays in wait for the start of the new racing season.

Heimgartner will jump back in the drivers’ seat for the first test on Wednesday February 7, before attention turns to the Bathurst 500 (February 23-25).

Supercars driver, #8 R&J Batteries Camaro

“R&J Batteries have pulled together another stunning livery, I’m very excited by the whole paint scheme - if it goes as good as it looks we’re in for a great year.

“We found our stride in the middle of last year and unfortunately weren’t able to capatilize it there at the end, but we’ve all been putting in some serious hours over the summer to come back stronger.

“I’m as ready as ever to get to Bathurst and get racing, this is my 9th year in the category and third year with BJR. I’m comfortable with the environment and the team here, I’ve seen what we can do over the last two years and there’s just a few things we needed to clean up which we have. So this year is a big opportunity for us.”

“This has to be one of my favourite R&J Batteries liveries, it’s a stunning car.

“It’s also an amazing time to be able to welcome Harley Davidson, John West Logistics and Hamilton Asphalts to the team. They’re very exciting additions and terrific partners to have on board.

“The R&J Batteries car had a standout performance last year with Andre and it’ll be interesting to see how they start off this year. Andre is our elder statesman now in the team and he’s been very supportive to Bryce, Macca and Jaxon - it’s such a good working relationship for our team and he’s an incredibly important asset.”
