Stones first to launch for 2008.

Stone Brothers Racing has been the first to launch their 2008 V8 Supercar Championship campaign with first pictures of the new-look Jeld-Wen Motorsport BF Falcon being released today.

James Courtney will continue to drive the #4 BF Falcon in 2008, however continuing sponsor Jeld-Wen has re-branded the car with the Corinthian Doors and Stegbar arms of its business.

Furthermore, the car sports a predominantly blue and white livery - removing the yellow which had adorned Jeld Wen entries over the past two years.

Team co-owner Ross Stone also confirmed during today's announcement that Jeld-Wen extended its agreement with SBR during the 2007 series, and is looking forward to a strong 2008 season.

"We have been involved with JELD-WEN for the past two years and with Stegbar for a number of years before that," said Stone.

"They have been both professional and supportive in their approach to motor sport at all times.

"SBR and JELD-WEN are more than confident that we can step up and challenge for the title this year.

"We have had some success with James for JELD-WEN with two Bathurst podiums and other podium positions at Oran Park, the Clipsal 500 Adelaide and the Desert 400 in Bahrain but we believe that there is a lot more in the tank.

"SBR has taken the opportunity to create a fresh and positive approach to 2008.

We have appointed David Stuart as Team Manager and put together a new engineering team. Everyone is back from the break refreshed and keener than ever to go racing."

Stone Brothers Racing is yet to reveal its driver and sponsor combination for the team's second car. Whilst the identity of the backer of the #9 remains a secret, one of ether David Besnard and Shane Van Gisbergen are expected to drive alongside Courtney in 2008.
