The '''Peak Motorsport Group''' ('''PMG''') is an international motorsport consortium based primarily in Auckland, New Zealand, but also with branches in France (Grenoble), Canada (Vancouver), USA (Austin), and Germany (Berlin).

The '''Peak Motorsport Group''' (or '''PMG''') is an international motorsport consortium headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand; though it also has divisions in other countries, most notably Canada. They are the owners of [[Formula 1 Rejects World Race Series|ARWS]] team [[Peak Aeroracing Engineering]].
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
[[Peak Motorsport]] was formed in May 2006 by Canadian businessman Edward Summers and entered the [[2007 Alternate GP2 season|2007 GP2 series]] as "Peak Motorsport Canada", based in Vancouver.
+
The Peak Motorsport Group was formed in 2017 when Edward Summers' Peak Motorsport Canada merged with the New Zealand-based High Performance Group. HPG had been formed at the beginning of 2016 by Raymond Douglas (head of the Douglas Media Group), Dominic Spearman (CEO of Spearman Industries) and Craig Harris (founder & CEO of Harris Finance). They ran a number of teams in various series during 2016, most notably High Performance Racing in F1RSTC and RRC and Harris Finance Racing in Lupo GTI.
  
The High Performance Group was formed in 2016 by Raymond Douglas (the head of the Douglas Media Group) and Dominic Spearman (the CEO of Spearman Industries). Harris Finance sponsored the team.
+
As part of the merger, Ziegler Holdings and the Clark Corporation purchased the shareholdings held by Douglas and Spearman.
 
 
HPG bought Peak Motorsport Canada in early 2016 and consolidated it into the group. Edward Summers was given a 10% stake in the Group. HPG itself was later bought out in early 2017 by a consortium consisting of Harris Finance ([[Craig Harris|The Harris family]]), Clark Corporation ([[Roger Clark|The Clark family]]) and Ziegler Holdings ([[Alvin Ziegler|The Ziegler family]]) and renamed to ''Peak Motorsport Group''.

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

PMG logo

The Peak Motorsport Group (or PMG) is an international motorsport consortium headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand; though it also has divisions in other countries, most notably Canada. They are the owners of ARWS team Peak Aeroracing Engineering.

History

The Peak Motorsport Group was formed in 2017 when Edward Summers' Peak Motorsport Canada merged with the New Zealand-based High Performance Group. HPG had been formed at the beginning of 2016 by Raymond Douglas (head of the Douglas Media Group), Dominic Spearman (CEO of Spearman Industries) and Craig Harris (founder & CEO of Harris Finance). They ran a number of teams in various series during 2016, most notably High Performance Racing in F1RSTC and RRC and Harris Finance Racing in Lupo GTI.

As part of the merger, Ziegler Holdings and the Clark Corporation purchased the shareholdings held by Douglas and Spearman.

Ownership

The current ownership structure is as follows:

Organisation
owner(s)
Peak Motorsport Canada (2006-2017)
Summers Incorporated (100%)
High Performance Group (2016-2017)
Harris Family Trust/Harris Finance (50%)

Spearman Industries (25%)
Peak Motorsport Group (2017-)

Operations

The headquarters of PMG is in Auckland, New Zealand along with their main workshop. Other workshops are located in Coventry (Peak Aeroracing Engineering), Vancouver (Peak Motorsport Canada), Berlin (Ziegler Auto Racing) and Grenoble (Mont Blanc Racing).

The group currently run three racing teams - Peak Aeroracing Engineering in open-wheel series, Peak Motorsport Canada in lower-level formulae, the Mont Blanc Racing endurance racing squad, and the Ziegler Auto Racing touring car operation. They also formerly ran the now defunct Everest Rally Team out of the Auckland workshop.
