Brad Jones Racing (BJR) faced a challenging situation when they received their first Toyota V8 engine, which required some unexpected adjustments. The team was caught off guard by the engine's compatibility issues, as it used the same length input shaft as the Ford engine, unlike their previous Chevrolet Camaros. This led to a race against time as they had to dispatch a crew member on an eight-hour round trip to Ballarat to retrieve the necessary input shafts. Despite the unexpected hurdle, BJR remains optimistic and is aiming to have their first Supra on track for a shakedown at Winton midway through next week. The team's determination to overcome these challenges is a testament to their commitment to excellence, and they are confident that they will be ready for the pre-season test in Sydney on February 18th, setting the stage for a successful season opener.
