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.
