PETAR PRENTIC TO SPEARHEAD MARYLAND SIMSPORT IN SEASON 5

By Mano Manikandan, 18 September 2026

Petar Prentic has officially found his new home on the AFO grid, confirming a shock move to Maryland Simsport for the upcoming Season 5 campaign. The Serbian veteran, who recently announced his departure from frontrunning outfit KV Group following a massive performance slump, will partner up with seasoned grinder Murat Sesli to form a completely revitalised lineup for the developing team.

Petar is leaving KV Group for an expansion outfit that spent Season 4 firmly anchored to the bottom of the constructors, and pundits are asking whether Petar is seeking a low pressure environment to rebuild his confidence, or if he genuinely sees potential in the Maryland project.

"I'm very happy to be joining Maryland Simsport, this is a project I'm very excited to be a part of," Petar stated regarding his new contract. "I wanna thank Angel for bringing me in and I hope this is a start for something big."

Maryland team owner Angel Arevalo is banking heavily on his new roster to pull the organisation out of backmarker irrelevance. "We are very excited to have Petar Prentic who is such an experienced talent and that he believes in the team we are building here in AFO," Arevalo remarked. "While our first season was difficult due to a late start compared to the rest of the grid and driver insecurity, we believe our line-up of Petar and Murat gives us an fast and experienced line-up who can helps us reach that next level in season 5."
