Junior Championship partners with M-Sport to supply MS Advanced Powertrains Engines

14th May 2026

Power Maxed Racing has confirmed M-Sport as the Official Engine Partner for its Junior Championship, supplying the MS Advanced Powertrains engine package for the new PM1 junior car.

M-Sport will provide a championship-controlled, sealed power unit for every PM1 car, forming a key part of the series’ technical platform.

Each car will run the same engine package, ensuring consistent performance across the grid while keeping maintenance requirements and running costs predictable throughout the season.

There is no engine development within the championship. Every driver competes with the same package, ensuring that performance is determined by driver ability rather than technical variation. 

The engine itself is built to handle a full programme of racing and testing without the need for ongoing rebuild cycles.

It also provides greater clarity for teams and families, with costs structured and predictable across the season and reduced risk of unexpected escalation.

Despite working with a leading motorsport supplier, the championship remains focused on accessibility, with car pricing competitively positioned at £74,995 + VAT. 

However, an initial allocation of ten cars will be available at £69,995 + VAT, supported by a £5,000 sponsorship contribution from car care brand Power Maxed, in return for brand presence on the allocated cars.

The running costs for an entire season will be approximately £85,000 per annum, to include 30 races across ten race weekends and ten test days, alongside the BTCC at all rounds.

The inclusion of the MS Advanced Powertrains engine package reinforces the championship’s aim to provide a structured and controlled step into circuit racing, built around equal performance and controlled costs.

Further technical details will be confirmed as the championship builds towards its inaugural season.
