A distressing security breach has hit Power Maxed Racing after their specialized Audi race car was stolen from a secure compound at the Excel London exhibition centre. The vehicle, alongside its trailer, was taken during a promotional event despite on-site security measures in place. This theft represents a significant financial and operational blow to the team, with the car valued at approximately 680,000 AUD.
The team has announced a reward of 45,500 AUD for any credible information leading to the recovery of the stolen asset. "The team’s priority is getting the car back. Anyone with information can contact the team in confidence," the team stated. They emphasized that the Audi is a purpose-built machine, making it extremely distinctive with very limited utility or resale value outside of professional racing circuits.
PMR is urging the motorsport and haulage communities to remain vigilant for the car, the trailer, or any BTCC-specification components surfacing for sale. The car was campaigned by Dexter Patterson throughout the recent BTCC season, where he delivered a season-best third-place finish at the Brands Hatch finale.
This incident follows a devastating fire that destroyed the team's premises last August, testing the resolve of the entire organization. Team Principal Adam Weaver reflected on the series of unfortunate events, stating, "It does start to make you wonder why you do certain things. You get people asking if the universe is trying to tell us something. I mean, what is the universe trying to tell me? We lost all of our cars in the fire, and then we had the resolve to knuckle down, build new cars and come back fighting strong, showing that we never give up."
The team continues to operate a four-car independent entry alongside other drivers such as Nick Halstead, Aiden Moffat, and Mikey Doble, while focusing all efforts on recovering their missing machine.
