Brad Jones Racing will pay tribute to the late Allan Simonsen in the V8 Supercars endurance rounds later this year.
\n<\/strong>
\nSimonsen was due to partner David Wall in the #21 Wilson Security Racing entry at Sandown, Bathurst and the Gold Coast, before he was tragically killed in this year’s Le Mans 24 Hour race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Danish GT driver and V8 Supercars enduro regular was a friend to all at Brad Jones Racing (BJR) after joining the squad as Jason Bargwanna’s co-driver in the 2011 Gold Coast event, and the team plan to run a tribute similar to that seen on all of its cars in memory of former BJR driver Jason Richards, who passed away from a rare form of cancer in December 2011.<\/p>\n

A permanent special star logo bearing ‘JR’ is prominently placed on the B-pillar of each car, between the driver and the rear door (and can also be seen at the top of every page of the V8SCGlobal.com website), and team Co-Owner Brad Jones says the cars will feature a similar tribute to Simonsen in the upcoming endurance events.<\/p>\n

“I was incredibly shocked and saddened to hear of Allan’s passing at Le Mans,”<\/em> said team co-owner, Brad Jones.<\/p>\n

“I have known Allan for a number of years and always felt he was an extremely fast, talented driver.<\/em>
\n
\n“At every event we compete with the memory and spirit of Jason Richards. At the endurance events this year we will also compete with the memory and spirit of Allan.<\/em><\/p>\n

“On behalf of all the employees at BJR I would like to pass on our condolences to Allan’s family. His work ethic, speed and professional attitude marked him as a driver BJR was keen to work with in the future. Moreover he was a great bloke and a gifted racer taken way too early in life. RIP.”
\n<\/em>
\nSimonson is survived by his partner Carina and daughter Mie-Mai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
