 In 2006 there was new hope for Jones and the team as they had a new engine supplier, Stone Brothers Racing, and staff changes.But the SBR engine pack lacked reliability and power, which made the engine famous and the team struggled, especially after one of their codrivers (Mark Porter) was killed in an accident at the Bathurst 1000 km round.At the end of the season, long time driver John Bowe left the team and moved to Paul Cruickshank Racing.
