Ziegler Auto Racing (or ZAR for short) is the Peak Motorsport Group's touring car team. They currently compete in the AutoRejects Super Touring, AutoReject GTi, and F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup series.

History

Owned by driver Alvin Ziegler, the team was formerly known as High Performance Racing, and was based out of Auckland, New Zealand. Ziegler bought the team in December 2016 off Dominic Spearman and Raymond Douglas and moved it to Berlin in his native Germany. Craig Harris retained a small stake in the team and Roger Clark also holds a stake after the sale to PMG.

Current operations

ARST

ZAR has entered the rebranded Rejects Touring Car Championship (now AutoRejects Super Touring) for 2017 with owner-driver Ziegler running in the #03 and Scottish ace Julian Clark in the #23.

The team competes under the DHL Ziegler Auto Racing banner due to sponsorship reasons and has a customer car deal with Restov Racing for two BMW M3's.

AutoRejects GTI

High Performance Racing entered the 2016 Lupo GTI Championship season with Kristina Harris in the #23 Harris Finance Racing Lupo for rounds 5-7. Kristina was joined by her younger sister Kaitlyn in the #24 for the non-championship rounds. Another two cars were entered at the Groningen NC round, under the John Deere Racing moniker for rookie Angelica Lopez (#32) and RRT refugee Hugo Carvalho (#33).

For 2017, the team was rebranded as Harris Finance ZAR and will run under a dual German/Kiwi license. Two cars will be run fulltime for Kaitlyn and Romain Hadamard, a Frenchman who replaces Kristina as she moves to ARST with the Vermillion Automotive Collective. The numbers #23 and #24 were retained, but Kaitlyn moved across to the #23.

F1RSTC

ZAR, then known as High Performance Racing, entered the 2016-2017 F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup season with two cars, the #23 and the #33. Julian Clark started the season in the #23 for the first five rounds before he had to hand over to Catalina Zhang after round 5 due to schedule conflicts with the RTCC that he was also competing in. Alvin Ziegler drove most rounds in the #33, with the exception of round 3, where Verna Klien substituted while he competed in an RRC race.
