WELCOME

Jason Bright, one of Australia 's leading Motor Racing drivers, began his career at the age of 15. Starting in Karts he progressed through the usual categories of Formula Ford and Formula Holden before starting in the V8 Supercar series in 1997 at the age of 24. Now driving for his own team and having been a Number 1 driver for a number of top teams in recent years, Jason has learned his craft and developed his engineering (car set up) skills working on his own cars as he progressed through his career.

Jason had a desire to race open wheelers and chose to head to the US of A to try his luck in the feeder Indy Lights Series with the hope of scoring a prized seat in a Champ Car. While his first attempt fell short his dream did come true with a one off drive in a Champ Car on his home turf at the streets of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of all places in 2000.

Since joining the V8 Supercar Championship series Jason has driven for numerous teams including Garry Rodgers Motorsport, SBR, HRT, Team Brock / PWR and FPR. Although it was an ambition for many years, late in 2004 Jason took the massive step of starting his own team from scratch. Not satisfied with buying an existing team Jason started fresh with a clean sheet of paper. Using his experiences from working for other teams Jason felt he could do things as well if not better. Ford was the marque that understood Jason's vision and was more than happy to welcome him back to the Blue side.

With the support of electronics giant Fujitsu General Jason set about acquiring both the talent and the hardware to start a full on assault on the Australian V8 Supercar Championship in 2005. The plan changed slightly when Jason was offered a drive with the ailing Ford Performance Racing in the No 6 CAT car. Apart from the obvious financial benefits to Jason and the team, it gave the fledgling team two full seasons to iron out any teething problems and grow to a point where it was competitive enough to keep him at the head of the field.

Jason's raw talent and ability to set a car up to do exactly what he wants, and knows it needs to go fast, has seen him take struggling teams to the top in a short period of time. Few other drivers have had such a direct impact on a team's turn around in performance. It is for this reason Jason is confident Fujitsu Racing, who have shown promising form without the results to date, will be a competitive force in 2007 and beyond.

Jason lives in Melbourne 's bayside suburb of Patterson Lakes with his Golden Retriever (Becker). While motorsport takes up most of his time, Jason is also an avid fisherman and enjoys days out on his Savage boat, riding his Suzuki motorbikes and heading outdoors camping.
