The Jones CJR-02B was an F1RWRS racing car designed by Jones Racing for the 2013 F1RWRS season. The car competed in only fourteen races due to Sammy Jones' initial withdrawal following Daniel Prieto's rise to president of the F1RWRS. Despite this, the car still managed two victories. Kay Lon, their second driver, would finish fourth in the Drivers Championship and won on the debut of the car at the 2013 F1RWRS Mexican Grand Prix but did not stay with the team. He was sacked following a sexual harassment charge after the 2013 F1RWRS Chinese Grand Prix. Drama aside, Jones failed to pass Holden for fourth in the Constructors Championship. The "B" specification of the car refers to the updated car that was brought to the team's first race after Jones rapidly designed a new car for the season.
