Jason Bright confirmed to drive for Prodrive Racing

Jason Bright has been confirmed to drive for Prodrive Racing Australia in the 2017 Supercars Championship, driving a fourth Ford Falcon of the team.

“I am really excited about the opportunity for 2017,” Bright said.

“PRA have been very successful in the last few years with plenty of race wins, two Bathurst titles and a championship so I am looking forward to stepping back into one of their cars and seeing how we go. I feel like we can be competitive.”

The 43-year-old last drove for the team in 2006, finishing fifth overall in the drivers’ championship.

“It is great to have Jason back at the team and we are all looking forward to having him back racing our cars and continuing the success we shared all those years ago,” said team manager Tim Edwards.

“There is actually a lot of staff that he worked with in 05/06 that are still part of the team so there is a degree of familiarity which will help too, plus he will bring a lot of knowledge and be a great sounding board for Chaz (Mostert) and Cam (Waters) which will be a big benefit.”
