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, and the Lupo GTI Championship.

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.

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

See Peak Motorsport, Everest Rally Team, and Glacier Mont Blanc Racing.

PMG operates three racing teams: Peak Motorsport, its Touring Car team that runs in RTCC and Lupo GTI; Everest Rally Team, the Rallying arm that competes in RRC; and the endurance racing operation Glacier Mont Blanc Racing, that runs cars in the ACO Le Mans Cup.

Group structure

The new structure from 2017 onwards is as follows:

Overall group: Peak Motorsport Group

  • Touring car team: Peak Motorsport/Harris Finance Racing (Lupo GTI)
  • Endurance racing/GT team: Glacier Mont Blanc Racing and Harris Finance GT (ACO Le Mans)
  • Engine divison: Peak Motorsport Engines
  • Driver management divison: Peak Driver Talent

The Everest Rally Team is to be shut down at this stage.
