Background

Peter
spent his early years rallying, collecting various hillclimb and
rallysprint records. His first taste of circuit racing came in
1991 when he raced a Mazda RX7 in the Transam Class. In 1992 he
teamed up with NZ Motor Racing legends Kenny Smith and the late
Roger Freeth to form the CRC Ford Dealer Team. After Roger's tragic
death Peter switched to a Holden Commodore, taking a 1st at Wigram
and numerous 2nd and 3rd places. In 1994 with the help of Nissan
NZ and Reg Cook, Peter built a Nissan Sentra SSS. The car proved
its potential and in 1995 Nissan NZ decided to support a two car
team, Peter teaming up with David (Bart) Simpson. His most memorable
moment came in 1996 when he outpaced Craig Baird and Brett Riley
in the wet at Manfeild to take the race. He repeated the effort
at Timaru to give him his best Touring Car Season to finish 1st
Privateer and 3rd overall. Peter is currently preparing a Nissan
Primera for competition. |
