POWER Maxed Racing showed their fighting spirit at Knockhill as the Evesham-based team completed a remarkable turnaround in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
The team took to the track just one week after a fire destroyed Power Maxed Racing’s facilities including three race cars.
However, with the help of the wider motorsport community, Power Maxed Racing competed in two Cupra cars as team driver Mikey Doble finished all three races.
Doble finished just outside the points in races one and two before eventually securing a well-deserved points finish in the final race of the weekend.
Doble said: “I think it’s fair to say it’s not just been a rollercoaster weekend, but a rollercoaster week.
“Just over seven days ago it was unclear whether we’d race again this season so to have now completed all three races at Knockhill is quite an achievement.
“I’ve got to say a massive thank you to every single member of the Power Maxed Racing team because what has been achieved over these last few days is nothing short of incredible.
“They moved heaven and earth to be here and put in some long hours to ensure we were competitive.
“Obviously being in Scotland was a win in itself but I would be lying if I didn’t say I hoped to come away with a little more from the weekend.
“That being said there were no real expectations as this was the first-ever time driving the Cupra.
“Every session was a step into the unknown but we learnt a huge amount about the car.
“We’ve got a long way to go but we’ve got an idea of what direction we want to take the Cupra heading into the next round – so hopefully we will see more progress at Donington Park.”
