Planate Management Group is proud to announce its sponsorship of Michael Koh Racing, joining co-sponsor Risen Line Solutions (TAG) in the 2026 GB4 Championship.
Planate is a trusted global engineering and technology company, delivering advanced engineering, innovation, and infrastructure solutions to our clients around the world. That growth has been built on backing the people, partners, and clients the company works alongside, and investing in them for the long term.
Michael’s step up to GB4, the UK’s entry-level single-seater series, run in partnership with the British Racing Drivers’ Club, comes after a strong karting career, including securing a runner-up finish in the Senior ROK GP category at the ROK Cup Singapore. It’s an early stage in his motorsport journey, and that’s part of the appeal. Developing race craft at this level, on a 29-car grid against drivers from a dozen different nations, demands the same qualities Planate looks for in its own engineering teams: precision, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure, with every fraction of a second and every design detail mattering. Supporting a driver early in his career, is consistent with how Planate approaches its own client relationships: showing up, staying invested, and building something over time.

The Technology
Motorsport at this level is as much an engineering and technology challenge as it is a driving one — telemetry, aerodynamics, materials science, and split-second systems integration all have to work together for a car to perform.
That’s not far removed from the work of Planate’s Global Innovation & Technology Delivery (GTD) division, which applies drones, 3D scanning, robotics, and advanced engineering systems to solve real-world infrastructure challenges, from drone assessment to facility documentation to additive manufacturing for mission-critical components. Different track, similar mindset: complex systems, engineered to perform reliably when it counts.
A Shared Story with Risen Line Solutions
Planate is sponsoring Michael Koh Racing alongside Risen Line Solutions, a U.S.-based systems integration company focused on transforming traditional security operations through intelligent automation, robotics, and advanced technology integration.
Both are, at their core, in the business of applying advanced technology and systems thinking to problems that used to be solved manually — whether that’s security operations or infrastructure engineering. Co-sponsoring Michael’s racing program gives both companies a shared platform to tell that story together, and a reason to explore where their technology paths might intersect further.
Planate’s support is intended to help Michael maximize these early-career moments — giving him the backing to develop his skills and race craft as he builds toward his long-term goals in the sport.
