Race Team

Ontario's Premier Karting Team

Prime Powerteam is one of Canada’s leading national karting teams based in Hamilton, Ontario. Founded in 2012 and under the ownership of Trevor Wickens, we are driven by a passion for excellence and innovation in karting. Team Manager Ken O’Keefe works closely with Trevor to ensure our operations run smoothly and effectively.

Our unique umbrella system distinguishes us from other teams. Trevor Wickens personally coaches and tunes all drivers from our state-of-the-art team tent, offering several key benefits:

  • Top-Notch Support: Drivers and parents receive expert guidance without the hassle of finding external tuners or coaches.
  • Team Collaboration: Our system promotes a collaborative environment where teamwork and shared knowledge drive success.
  • Transparent Operations: All information flows through Team staff, ensuring open communication and eliminating secrets.

Our commitment extends to driver development. We focus on teaching drivers how to become future motorsport stars by emphasizing the “why” behind each action, not just the “what.” Through daily track walks and advanced data acquisition, we help our drivers adapt and grow. Our alumni have progressed to prominent careers in motorsports, including:

Robert Wickens – IndyCar, DTM
Kyle Marcelli – IMSA and Grand-Am
Luke Chudleigh – Formula Renault 2.0L
Mac Clark – USF 2000
Patrick Woods-Toth – FR Americas
