The man behind new BTCC entrant Power Maxed Racing is to take up the sport himself, at the wheel of a Suzuki Swift in the Swift Sport Rallycross Championship.
Adam Weaver, MD of Power Maxed, will make his track debut at Croft this coming weekend on Saturday 18th October for Round 6 of the British Rallycross Championship.
Adam, 34, has long wanted to have a go at some Rallycross. After supporting Chris Mullen and finding out more about the championship in doing so he decided to have a go himself after the BTCC season had ended and booked in for the final two rounds of the championship.
“I have always had a soft spot for Rallycross as it combines my interest in off-road racing and circuit racing as I started out in Autograss at 16 and have done plenty of track days and a bit of circuit racing more recently in the VW Cup, the Suzuki Swifts seem like an ideal place to take my first steps.”
Adam’s car will be be provided and prepared by Peter Gwynne Motorsport and is entered under the name of Power Maxed Racing, as was Chris Stockton’s BTCC Chevrolet Cruze this season. The Swift will carry the branding of Power Maxed and associated products Steel Seal and J-B Weld as will the car of his friend and experienced circuit racer Harry Vaulkhard who also joins him in a Peter Gwynne Motorsport prepared Swift for his first taste of Rallycross action.
Peter Gwynne said : “Adam has been a great supporter of motorsport and its competitors through the years and has helped several drivers with their careers – it’s great to see him going out to compete himself, he tells me his aim is to have some fun and I am sure that he will enjoy the competition and entertainment the Swifts provide.”
