Peter embarked on a driving career as early as 11 years old when he began karting in his local track
in Fife, Scotland. His first move into cars came in 1993 when he competed in the Jim Russell Racing School at Donnington Park. After winning the School Championship, Peter progressed into Formula Vauxhall Junior in the following year. Here, he dominated the championship taking eight wins on his
way to becoming overall champion. Between 1995 and 1996, Peter advanced up to Formula Vauxhall where, driving for Jackie Stewart’s team he took 10 wins becoming ultimate series champion.

1997 saw Peter’s first major step on the motor racing ladder. Continuing with Jackie Stewart’s team,
he moved in to Formula 3 taking a win on his way to third place in his rookie season. The opportunity arose in 1998 for Peter to race for the Works Factory Tom’s Toyota Team driving in the Japanese Formula 3 Championship which he subsequently won with a record eight wins from ten races. Within
the same year, Peter further dominated Asian motor sport by winning the unofficial World Cup of
Formula 3. The Macau Grand Prix.

1999 saw Peter contracted for Mercedes-Benz to race in their high-profile Le-Mans project whilst still competing in Formula Nippon, (Japans equivalent to Formula 3000). Peter spectacular Le-Mans
crash (caused by aero dynamic instabilities) has been well documented, earning him front page coverage of national newspapers and various television interviews.

For the next five years Peter joined the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagn Masters) Championship,
continuing his link with Mercedes-Benz and later joining Opel. A third place in the 2001 championship and race victories in Sachsenring and Lausitzring were his highlights.

2005 saw Peter return to the land of the rising sun to join Toyota/Lexus racing in Japan's Super GT. For the next 4 seasons he commuted the 12 hour plane journey for tests and races. During this time Peter also joined the factory Spyker Squadron to race in the Le Mans Series and the famous 24 hour race in their GT2 machine.

In 2010 a new challenge of a brand new championship arrived. Peter joined forces with Sumo Power GT to drive the iconic Nissan GTR in the FIA GT1 World Championship. Dovetailing the Le Mans Series in the Spyker and the GT1 World together with outings at the 24 hours of Nurburgring and Le Mans means that 2010 should be a busy season.
