PWR Racing to revert to old chassis after crash.

PWR Racing will rebuild its spare chassis - the car Jason Bright drove in 2003 when he led the championship for seven rounds - after Bright's #50 Commodore sustained massive damage in a high-speed collision with a concrete wall at Surfers Paradise on Sunday.

Bright's car was left severely bent in the accident, when the car slammed into a concrete wall at 150kmh following contact with Kmart Racing's Rick Kelly.

Bright, who was wearing a Holden-supplied HANS device was shaken but unhurt by the impact.

PWR Racing owner Kees Weel said that after assessing the damage on Sunday night, the team conceded it would be unable to be repair the car in time for the next round of the V8 Supercar Championship Series, at Tasmania's Symmons Plains on November 12-14.

Instead, the team will build up its spare chassis, a hybrid VY Commodore which was driven by Paul Weel for the first nine rounds of 2004 and was formerly Bright's VX Commodore in 2003.

"We haven't got a lot of time to work with, so we've just had to look at the solution that would get the car on the boat in time to go down to Tassie," Weel said. "This chassis has been reliable and fast so we're sure we'll put a competitive car on the track to give Brighty a chance to stay in the championship. We haven't given up yet."

Meanwhile, Rick Kelly has accepted full blame for the accident and apologised to both Bright and the team.

"No driver would like to have any involvement in an incident of that size," Kelly said. "I have always got on well with Jason and PWR Racing and I apologised straight after the incident.

"Surfers Paradise always features close racing and when you're on such a tight track, it's easy to make a misjudgement, which is what happened on Sunday.

"Jason and the PWR team have been very understanding, which I greatly appreciate. Drivers always are very hard on themselves after incidents like that and I'm no exception."
