This article is about the group itself. For the team, see Peak Motorsport.
The Peak Motorsport Group (abbreviated to PMG) is a New Zealand motorsport consortium.
History
PMG was formed as the High Performance Group in 2016 by businessmen Raymond Douglas, Craig Harris, and Dominic Spearman. It competed in the F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup, Rejects Rallycross Championship, Lupo GTI Championship, and the Reject Rally Trophy.
For 2017, Spearman and Douglas' shares in the business were bought out by British businessman Roger Clark (father of HPG driver Julian) and Mexican investor Héctor Vázquez (backer of driver Angelica Lopez) and the group was renamed as the Peak Motorsport Group.
