Amidst the harsh economic realities of the motorsport industry, CEO Micke Jansson's leadership stands as a testament to resilience and vision. Recognizing the inherent challenges of pursuing a career in a financially demanding field, Micke's strategic insights and dedication continues to propel PWR Group forward. His visionary approach extends beyond mere profitability, as our partnerships are forged with a deeper purpose—supporting causes and driving positive change within every aspect of the industry.
The finances behind motorsport create significant barriers for talented drivers to succeed, often favouring those with robust support systems. Making a living as a professional driver can be as challenging as becoming an astronaut. To address this, we aim to create a sustainable commercial platform for the sport, enabling talented drivers to pursue their careers without financial obstacles.
Most motorsport enthusiasts start with go-karting and then progress to higher levels where it all becomes about racing. The true season is spring and summer, and motorsport is more than just a hobby—it's an identity and a lifelong passion. At PWR Group, we are dedicated to supporting this passion and changing the entire industry, shaping the future of motorsport for generations to come.
Accessibility in motorsports is unique, offering a level playing field where individuals, regardless of their abilities, can compete on equal terms. In this sport, barriers are broken, and inclusivity is championed, allowing everyone, irrespective of their limitations, to partake in the thrill of racing.
Motorsports can serve as a gateway to careers in mechanics and related fields. As enthusiasts immerse themselves in the world of motorsports, they develop a deep appreciation for the intricacies of vehicle design, performance optimization, and maintenance. This fascination often translates into a desire to explore careers in mechanics, engineering, and automotive technology. By showcasing the technical aspects of racing and providing hands-on experiences, motorsports plays a pivotal role in attracting individuals to these professions, thereby bolstering interest and expertise in the field.
Why aren't more women and young girls represented in motorsport? Regardless of the reasons, we continue to work towards attracting more young girls and giving them the opportunity in the world of motorsport. Because we need them!
