Power Maxed Racing is a British auto racing team based in Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire. The team has raced in the British Touring Car Championship, since 2015 after purchasing BTC Racing in February 2015. [1]
After having purchased BTC Racing in February 2015, the team will enter the 2015 British Touring Car Championship season with Dave Newsham and Josh Cook driving an NGTC Chevrolet Cruze each. [2] [3] The last season with the Chevrolet Cruze saw Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher take the wheel. Fletcher did not have a very successful season and was dropped from the team.
On 22 November 2016 Power Maxed Racing announced that Vauxhall would be returning to BTCC with the Astra for the 2017 season.
The 2017 drivers were Tom Chilton and Senna Proctor. Senna secured victory in the prestigious Jack Sears Trophy, awarded to best rookie, with an unprecedented 5 rounds of the season left to run. The car earned a number of podiums under Tom Chilton and guest driver, WTCC Champion Rob Huff.
2018 saw 2015 Jack Sears Champion Josh Cook return to PMR alongside Proctor. Proctor would take both his and the team's first win in the second race at Brands Hatch, after gambling with slick tyres on a drying track. This was followed up by Cook taking the team's first pole position three weeks later at Donington Park, before converting it into his first win in race 1. Cook would go on to take another win in Race 2 at Thruxton , while Proctor would take 2 more podiums throughout the rest of the season. Cook finished the season in 6th with 246 points, with Proctor in 12th with 170 points to round out the team's best year in the sport.
For 2019, they signed Jason Plato and Rob Collard and ran under the name Sterling Insurance with Power Maxed Racing.
On the 10th of August 2025, Power Maxed Racing's headquarters were destroyed in a fire that resulted in the total loss of their entire fleet of cars, including their BTCC Astras. They would enter the Knockhill round next weekend with two Cupras, one loaned to them by the Patterson family and the other by Un-Limited Motorsport. [4] [5]
Power Maxed Racing entered a BTCC-spec Vauxhall Astra in the finale of the 2019 Touring Car Trophy for series organiser Stewart Lines.
Power Maxed Racing has announced it will make the move into TCR UK for the 2020 season full-time in partnership with TradePriceCars.com. The team will run a Cupra León TCR in the series, with Trade Price Cars owner Dan Kirby the driver. [6]
