The colours and lines really pop, and I honestly can\u2019t wait to see it tearing up the Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a bit of a rollercoaster with the Supra this year, but I feel we are really starting to click with it now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pumped to get to Bathurst, hopefully we\u2019ll see plenty of Toyota flags flying up the top of the Mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andre Heimgartner and Declan Fraser led Brad Jones Racing\u2019s efforts at Mount Panorama last year, finishing seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Jones and Boys finished two laps down in 16th after an incident in the closing stanza of the race.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the downsized three-car team heads to Mount Panorama with a new challenge \u2013 switching from Chevrolet to Toyota.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBathurst is such a special time of year, and Automotive Superstore truly get that,\u201d said eponymous team owner Brad Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey understand what this race means to our team and to the fans, and having them back onboard as naming rights partner for another year says everything about that commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our first crack at Bathurst with the Supra and while there\u2019ll be a few unknowns, we\u2019ve put in serious groundwork and the team has been flat out making sure we squeeze every bit of potential out of this package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve already seen what the Supra can do in the enduros, we know what it\u2019s capable of. Now it\u2019s about nailing all the one percents and hitting the ground running.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026_Top-Down-copy.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026_Top-Down-copy-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1047446\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tThe #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026_Front-copy.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026_Front-copy-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1047445\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tThe #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026-Hero-Side-copy.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BJR-x-AMS-Bathurst-2026-Hero-Side-copy-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1047439\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tThe #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The #96 Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra of Macauley Jones and Jordan Boys.
