Britek Motorsport is one of the motorsport teams contesting the V8 Supercar Championship. Established in 2005 under the ownership of Jason Bright (who was driving for Ford Performance Racing at the time), they have struggled in their first two seasons due to testing and licensing restrictions. The team has occasionally shown promise, particularly in longer distance events.

The team's drivers for the 2005 season were Steve Owen and Matthew White, who were subsequently replaced in 2006 by Warren Luff and Jose Fernandez. Tony Riciardello also drove selected races.

Jason Bright leaves the leading Ford Performance Racing outfit in 2007 to drive for Britek, and in doing so, joining the ranks of driver-team owners. Joining him in the second Britek entry is Alan Gurr.

In 2007, Fujitsu and Caterpillar, Inc. will sponsor Bright's entry, while Irwin Industrial Tools will sponsor Gurr's car.

Britek also run Ford's official entry in the Australian Rally Championship, the two Ford Fiesta Super 2000 cars driven by Michael Guest and Darren Windus.
