This article is about the group itself. For the team, see Peak Motorsport.

PMG logo

The Peak Motorsport Group (abbreviated to PMG) is a New Zealand 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). It competed in the F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup, Rejects Rallycross Championship, and the Lupo GTI Championship.

In the off-season between 2016 and 2017, Spearman and Douglas sold their shares to British supermarket magnate Roger Clark (father of Julian) and Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim. The group was renamed as the Peak Motorsport Group.

Operations

The Peak Motorsport Group is based in Auckland, New Zealand (although Glacier Mont Blanc Racing is based in Grenoble, France). 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 and Mont Blanc Racing.

Peak Motorsport is the senior open-wheel 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.

Speed Collective Racing is the junior open-wheel team.

Ziegler Auto Racing is the touring car team that competes in the F1RSTC and also in the Lupo GTI Cup under the Harris Finance ZAR name.

Additionally, PMG operates the Dodge SRT Racing Team in the Women's GT Junior Cup and Team New Zealand in the Community Racing Series.
