Press Release – Sale of PMS Race team.
It is with great disappointment that PMS (Peacock Motor Sports) will have to withdraw from the 2nd season of the Super GT class run on Friday nights.
“With recent changes of the COVID lock down, up here in Ontario, our schedule has changed and at the very most we would only be able to compete on a part time basis.” A team representative was quoted in saying.
“We notice that the series is almost full - it would be unfair to hold the spot when perhaps there is a full time team that could take over our charter. and/or that would prefer to have the Corvette.”
“Therefore,” the team rep continues, “our charter, and choice of car and tire (Corvette and Falken) is up for the taking for another team that may be able to utilize it more.”
No one was more disappointed than the principle driver of PMS, BPeacock27. “Racing is only a part time gig for me” indicated Peacock. “Unfortunately with this new covid lockdown, my schedule will no longer permit running very often on Friday nights”
However, inside sources indicate that PMS will be running a full time entry on Wednesday nights instead, and will be able to carry over their sponsor (Smirnoff) over to their Audi entry. As well they will continue with team WAR in the Saturday Gr3 series.
“I feel terrible for the guys” says Peacock. “The Corvette was 100% ready to run this coming Friday, livery is done and sponsors secured – but with the announcement yesterday in Ontario regarding COVID, things changed very quickly.”
Team PMS would also like to extend a
sincere apology to
@WanganGhost as we realize this may be quite an inconvenience to him. Unfortunately with COVID you never know what’s going to happen these days, and this is a situation out of our control”
