PM Junior Championship Taster Day a Success at Mallory Park

17 aspiring young drivers experience the PM1 as interest builds ahead of the championship's inaugural 2027 season.

The PM Junior Championship has taken another significant step towards its inaugural 2027 season following a successful Taster Day at Mallory Park, where 17 aspiring young drivers experienced the championship's PM1 car first-hand.

Bringing together drivers from a variety of backgrounds, including karting, sim racing and other junior motorsport categories, the event provided an opportunity to experience the car and discover what the new championship has to offer. 

Despite challenging and changeable weather conditions, enthusiasm remained high throughout the day. Predominantly dry conditions greeted the morning's drivers before rain arrived around lunchtime, leaving the circuit wet for the afternoon sessions.

The changing conditions did little to dampen the excitement surrounding the event. Feedback on the PM1 was consistently positive, providing further encouragement as preparations continue for the championship's first season.

Building the Next Generation

Developed by Power Maxed Racing, the PM Junior Championship has been created to provide a structured pathway for drivers aged 14-17 looking to progress from their first experiences in motorsport towards professional car racing. 

At the heart of the championship is the PM1, a racing car designed to give young drivers a competitive platform on which to develop their skills, gain valuable experience and prepare for future opportunities in the sport. 

Combining competitive racing with a strong emphasis on driver development, the championship brings together technical expertise, professional motorsport experience and opportunities for progression. Its foundations are built around three core pillars: Develop. Race. Progress. 

Interest in the championship is also growing across the wider motorsport industry, with established motorsport organisations exploring the opportunities exploring the opportunities presented by the new series. This growing engagement highlights the potential of the PM Junior Championship to become an important part of the development pathway for future racing talent. 

Looking Ahead to 2027

The successful Taster Day at Mallory Park marks another milestone in the championship's preparations, giving prospective competitors the opportunity to experience the PM1 and gain a better understanding of the series ahead of its debut season. 

With interest continuing to build among drivers and the wider motorsport industry, Power Maxed Racing is working towards establishing a competitive, development-focused environment for the next generation of racing drivers. 

The ambition extends beyond creating a new championship. By combining quality racing with opportunities to learn, develop and progress, the PM Junior Championship aims to provide young competitors with a platform to take the next steps in their motorsport careers. 

Further information about the PM Junior Championship, driver opportunities and the 2027 season will be announced through the championship's official channels.
