Since its inception back in 2002, Position One Motorsports began the long and arduous task of establishing a strong and fearless reputation in the motorsports world. Beginning with go-kart competition Position One began building it's foundation and soon thereafter other competitors began seeing glimpses of what the organization was to become. After getting its feet wet in 2002 the team began winning races in 2003 and 2004 in spectacularly dominating fashion. At the conclusion of the 2004 season, driven by the continuous desire to challenge itself and the relentless passion to win, team principle Luis Martinez Sr decided to switch chassis one week prior to the California State Championships. Though it was risky, the change worked and the team went on to win 2 State Championships. In 2005 the team continued its dominance when it won 2 more State Championships. The move solidified the teams' decision on a new chassis of choice for the future – AVANTI
AVANTI proved to be fast out of the box and with 2 years of Engine R&D, the team went on to win 4 IKF Grand National Titles, 4 Regional Titles and club-level races between 2 drivers - how’s that for team work! With the endless help from JM Racing and Jesus’ relentless commitment to win, Position One soon was on many podiums and everyone’s stop watch. In 2006, Position One began to focus on engine building and supporting customers with engine needs. Although engines became the focus, AVANTI continued to be the chassis of choice for one-offs and sponsored drivers. In 2007 Position One would purchase Formula Renault race cars to compete in the Formula TR series and finished 3rd in points, with 3 wins throughout the 07 season. Drivers in the 07 season included Luis Jr, Sergio Pena and Kerstin Smutny. With the dissolution of the Formula TR series, Position One has capitalized on the opportunity and began testing up-and-coming openwheel racers that have given their younger years to karting. Currently, Position One operates a shop in Baldwin Park, California which focuses on Karting and Stock Car Racing and their Buttonwillow, California shop operates their Formula Renault Testing and Driver Development Center. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to practice, test or race with the best equipment and team – ask drivers and mechanics that have given of their time to help build what Position One is today. Let us help you reach your goals in racing – and have fun while you’re getting there! Position One Motorsports – WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE?
