MN confirmed this week that it will have a different livery with Accor hotels taking the main spot.. Seems the phone business is not doing so well.. I hope for you guys that Dick find a new 3rd party majar sponsor soon as I think he could start to strangle soon. Also some talk that Shell might come back?
I hope Seto has is money by now!!

I just posted this on the 10-tenths forum Joe5619 were I presume you got this info from.
"Hi All,
DJR to be sold in 2007? I don?t think so! The good old rumour mill continues to churn.
Every time we have a meeting with someone in the race industry, it turns out they are up for a team management position. Every time we are seen talking to a business owner / executive, they are going to be the teams new naming rights sponsor! If we have a chat with a Holden driver, someone says DJR is defecting to Holden! Sound familiar? It?s a little extreme but that?s exactly how most of these rumours start.
In V8?s, the reality is, teams are talking to prospective employees and sponsors all the time. DJR is no different. No race team can afford to put out a ?no vacancy? sign and say sorry, we?re full, no room for new sponsors!
That said, here are some responses to clear up these sponsorship rumours?
Will FirstRock and V8 Telecom continue to sponsor DJR? Yes. The sponsorship is working well for FirstRock and V8 Telecom, and both companies will continue to support the team.
Is DJR considering new sponsors for 2007 on either of the cars? Of course we are. We have current sponsors interested in increasing their exposure with the team in different capacities, and several new sponsors interested in coming on board at different levels. In fact, we have a couple of sponsors interested in starting sponsorship this season. This doesn't mean we are definitely changing anything - as I said, we talk to interested sponsors all the time.
Would DJR change liveries (car designs) mid season? If that?s what we need to do to accommodate a new relationship that will help the team move forward, we?ll do it. As FirstRock and V8 Telecom are owned by Dick Johnson, we have the flexibility to consider all options, without disrupting an ?external? naming rights sponsor arrangement.
Is it all working? Well, you be the judge? DJR has had a lot of big shake-ups this year to get things charging again ? staff changes, sponsor changes and operational changes to name a few. Our cars are quicker, the drivers are focused and passionate, and team morale is flying high. The team is firing on all cylinders on track and off track, and it?s because we have embraced the need to change in order to move forward. So yes, it?s working, and we still have a lot more to do.
It is heartening to read the supportive comments in this topic from everyone that sees through the rumours ? it takes more than a bit of gossip to fool a DJR fan!
Let's just say that the rumour mill has churned "DJR is talking to potential new sponsors" into "DJR is up for sale!" ...it ain't!
Hope this info helps.
Cheers

Without even going to have a look at 10/10th's, I bet GTR Magic has had a go at DJR in some way, shape or form!!
I'm sure Dick must have run over his cat or something in a previous life as he is ALWAYS dead set negative on anything DJR!!!
Back on topic.. Can't wait to see the new livery this weekend & it's great to see Accor tipping in more money at DJR.. Luv to see Shell back though!!

I have just been fortunate to watch a Pool feed come in at work , and the #18 is painted Blue and White with sponsorship from APVC. Seems like the rumour was true this time. Looks ok, but lots of DJR stuff, with interviews with Will, Steve Chalker, Dick, Junior among others

Disck just said on the Panelbeaters that the new livery for #18 ,Accor is on the car for the rest of the year and maybe beyond. Poita was that your question about the enduro drives ??
