Brad Jones Racing switches focus to race preparation at the Bathurst 1000.

All four BJR cars will use Saturday’s sessions to gain some insight into race pace and to prepare for the 1000 grueling kilometers at Mount Panorama.

While qualifying didn’t go to plan for the Albury squad, there is reasonable confidence within the team that their Camaros have pace over a longer stint.

The R&J Batteries car at the hands of Andre Heimgartner eked out a time good enough for 13th on the grid come Sunday(2:05.4700), missing out on making the shootout by just under two tenths.

While Bryce Fullwood in the Middy’s Electrical Camaro had trouble getting the most out of his runs on green tyres in qualifying and will line up 21st.

The Pizza Hut Racing entry starts the Great Race out of 24th, after a solid qualifying effort by driver Macauley Jones.

Jack Smith in the SCT Logistics Camaro will looks to charge forward come Sunday, starting from grid position 27th.

After the Sandown 500, where the BJR cars made up a considerable amount of positions in the race, there are similar expectations among the crew that the longer format race can see the Camaros climb the order.

With two practice sessions still on the schedule for Saturday, the crew will be on track tomorrow at 10:00 AEDT.

The Tasmanian will do it all again today , with qualifying underway at 8:55 AEDT. Edit he qualified 11th.
