Max Opalski, the dynamic young sports car professional taking the 2024 season by storm. As a prodigious talent from the starting line, Max has shifted through life’s gears with the same precision and passion that he brings to the track. With karting roots that trace back to the tender age of five, Max has spent over a decade honing his skills, rapidly progressing through levels of competition with a dedicated, laser-focused mentality that set the pace for his career.

 

His formative years on the circuit were spent mastering the intricacies of karting, where he quickly established a name for himself as a fierce competitor. By age 16, Max had transitioned to the Global MX-5 Cup series, where the stakes were higher, and the curves more challenging. Here, he proved his mettle, earning accolades.

 

Now, Max is poised to take the helm of the all-new Mustang Dark Horse in the exhilarating IMSA Mustang Challenge series. The transition signifies more than just the advancement to a faster car—it marks Max’s readiness to accelerate in a league ripe with opportunity and competition.

 

Off the track, Max channels his passion for speed into the adrenaline-filled slopes of Colorado. An avid skier, he finds the mountains a freeing backdrop to refine his agility and endurance—the same attributes that give him an edge in his racing pursuits. However, even as the snow cascades around him, his heart stays anchored to the asphalt where his dreams race at full throttle.

 

Max’s commitment to racing led him to an unconventional yet accomplished academic journey, seamlessly managing his education through homeschooling tailored for youth athletes. This alternative path has not only allowed Max to flourish academically but also provided him the flexibility to grow as an athlete, leading him to an extraordinary milestone: becoming the youngest team owner in IMSA history.

 

Team M.O.R. is not just a team—it’s a testimony to Max’s multifaceted role as both a commanding driver and an innovative leader. Forging an aspirational path, he has deftly maneuvered through the challenges of securing financing and developing a competitive team infrastructure, ensuring that Team M.O.R. arrives on the grid as a force to be reckoned with.

 

The anticipation revs up as Max and Team M.O.R. prepare to make their grand debut at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Complex in June for the inaugural weekend. With a focused mind, lightning-fast reflexes, and a voracious appetite for victory, Max Opalski isn’t just one to watch—he’s one to cheer for as he accelerates towards racing greatness.
