The Peak Motorsport Group (PMG) is a New Zealand/German/French motorsport consortium founded in 2016.

History

The High Performance Group was formed in 2016 by businessmen Raymond Douglas (head of the Douglas Media Group), Craig Harris (owner of Harris Finance), and Dominic Spearman (CEO of Spearman Industries).

HPG was renamed Peak Motorsport Group in the 2016-2017 off-season. Douglas and Spearman sold their shares in the group to driver Alvin Ziegler and Julian Clark's father, Roger.

Operations

The Peak Motorsport Group is based in Auckland, New Zealand. They operate three racing teams, an engine division known as Peak Motorsport Engines, and a driver management arm known as Peak Driver Talent.

Racing operations

For more information, see Peak Motorsport, Ziegler Auto Racing, Speed Collective Racing and Mont Blanc Racing.

Peak Motorsport is the senior open-wheel team. It operates the Formula Female WCS team.

Mont Blanc Racing (MBR) is the endurance racing arm. It operates an LMP1 team in the Le Mans Cup and also a GT team, known as Harris Finance MBR.

Everest Rally Team is the rally team. It has been placed on hiatus due to the collapse of the Reject Rally Trophy and Rejects Rallycross Championship series that it was competing in.

Ziegler Auto Racing is the touring car team that competes in the F1RSTC, RTCC, and also in the AutoRejects GTI series under the Harris Finance ZAR name.
