PM1 Junior Championship Confirms Quaife as Official Drivetrain Partner


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The PM1 Junior Championship has confirmed Quaife as its Official Drivetrain Partner for the new junior racing platform.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Established in 1965, Quaife has built a long-standing reputation within motorsport and performance automotive engineering, supplying sequential gearboxes, differentials, and transmission systems across categories ranging from club-level racing through to international motorsport.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quaife will supply the sequential shift gearbox and differential package used across the championship, forming part of the PM1’s controlled technical specification.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every car will run the same Quaife transmission package, ensuring consistency across the grid and keeping the focus on driver performance rather than technical differences between the cars.<br><br>The sequential shift gearbox and overall package has been chosen with long-term reliability in mind across a full season of racing and testing.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With no scope for development or modification, the aim is to keep the cars consistent, straightforward to run, and predictable from a cost perspective throughout the year.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That sits at the centre of the championship’s wider approach. By controlling the technical package and limiting development, the focus remains on driver progression while helping teams and families avoid the cost escalation often associated with junior motorsport.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using a single, centrally supplied drivetrain package also reduces maintenance complexity and removes the need for ongoing component development or rebuild programmes during the season.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As well as working with leading motorsport supplier, the championship remains focused on accessibility, with car pricing competitively positioned at £74,995 + VAT.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>
