Car #17 – BF Falcon – Steven Johnson (QLD)
Championship position: 12th (-3)
Podiums: 2
Top three race finishes: 2
Steven Johnson's form improved in 2007. Whilst his championship position dropped, his consistency and pace improved – only losing good finishes through poor reliability.
A commanding performance in the final stages of the Bathurst 1000 was undoubtedly the highlight of Johnson's year, as he drove to third place behind Craig Lowndes and James Courtney.
Johnson also gained another podium finish in the Desert 400 at Bahrain – a testament to his hard off-season fitness regime, natural ability and the development work of the Jim Beam team.
On the back of his strong effort across the 2007 championship, Johnson is poised to crack the top ten frequently in 2008.
