DJR (Dick Johnson Racing) came to Hammer looking for a nutrition product which was going to give them what they wanting, consistent long lasting energy with no massive blood sugar swings. They had been looking around at the commercial choices and could not not find what hey wanted. Then they found us through one of their employees.

Hammer Nutrition is looking forward to working with DJR and enhancing their performance levels through better nutrition.

DJR Racing Press Announcement

Steering a V8 Supercar is nothing like driving your normal road car. Intense acceleration, braking, steering and gear changing all require heavy-duty muscle power and incredible resistance to the physical stresses of up to five G-Forces. With cabin temperatures of up to 60°C, speeds of nearly 300 kilometres an hour, and stints in the car lasting up to three hours, V8 Supercar racing demands the highest levels of focus and endurance. The drivers are required to be incredibly fit, with heart rates sustained between 80-95% Maximum for several hours.

Dick Johnson Racing researched the Sports Nutrition market to find the most suitable product. Finally, we came to the conclusion that Hammer Nutrition products offered the most pure sports nutrition products. Hammer has no simple sugars, colourings, preservatives or any other junk which can affect the drivers performance. This is exactly what we were looking for, a product which offered long lasting, consistent energy (no highs or lows). In a V8 Supercar any slip due to fatigue can mean the difference between 1st and 20th.

We strive for the perfect performance, so it’s vital our nutrition matches this profile.

We will be using a full range of Hammer products both before, during and after the race.

On the 14 July at 7am there were 350+ teams ready to embark on the annual Kokoda Challenge. This year’s track was deemed to be the toughest track thus far, and due to the weather conditions earlier on the week the track was made it even more perilous. The conditions of the 96km track did not stop the No Roads Expedition team to emerge 11 hours and 43 minutes to secure their second consecutive win.

Congratulations to No Roads Expedition on their fantastic win. Here is what Brendan Davies (member of No Roads Expedition) had to say:

I burned through over 8000 calories over the treacherous Kokoda Challenge course – 96km with near 5000m of elevation gain. It was Hammer Perpetuem that kept me going for the 11 and half hours it took us to win the race. In the first half I used the Strawberry flavour before switching to Caffe Latte flavour later in the race. Every 20km I also had a Huckleberry flavoured gel to give me that instant boost.

The Endurolytes also proved to be a very convenient way to restore mineral loss throughout the day. These little capsules, which I kept in my shorts pocket, worked wonders and kept the cramp monsters at bay. Post-race we all celebrated with a Recoverite drink.

Thanks again Hammer Nutrition
