7 Drivers. One Team. Next Stop: Portugal.
Prime Powerteam is sending seven drivers to the 2026 RMC Grand Finals in Portugal!
We have been fortunate to help drivers qualify for the Grand Finals nearly every year, but having seven drivers earn tickets in a single season sets a new bar for our team.
A huge thank you to our engine partner, Aurum Racing Engines , for powering us throughout the season, and massive congratulations to our seven drivers who put in the work all year to earn the opportunity to represent their countries on the world stage.

JAMES ROOTS | MINI MAX
James Roots was the first Prime Powerteam driver to punch his ticket to Portugal in 2026, earning his spot by winning the RMC US Trophy in Texas.
Despite some very un-Texas-like winter weather, James was the class of the field, winning each of the first three races and clinching the championship before the final race even began.
Three races. Three wins. Championship secured.
A dominant start to our 2026 season and the first of seven Grand Finals tickets for Prime Powerteam.
YOUSEF ADI | MINI MAX
What a season for Yousef Adi.
Yousef earned his Grand Finals ticket by winning the RMC Ontario Championship in dominant fashion, winning each of the opening three rounds before finishing second at the Canadian Open and securing the championship by an incredible 200-point margin.
But he wasn't finished there.
Yousef went on to win the US Trophy Final and the RMC Quebec Championship, meaning he effectively qualified for the Grand Finals three separate times in 2026!
You can only take one ticket, but winning three championships and earning three different paths to Portugal is an incredible accomplishment.
Next stop: the RMC Grand Finals!
