Q and A with Peter....

What is your best achievement(s) in the sport? 

My best achievements so far was at Snetterton in 2024. I got 3rd place in qualifying and finished p2 in the race with the fastest lap. 

Who was your biggest influence as you came through the ranks?

Pedro Acosta because he’s always energetic and he is always progressing every year. 

Best friend in racing?

It would be hard to pick one! A few of my best friends in racing are Scott McPhee, Lewis Mullen, Ryan frost and the O’Malley brothers. 

Who is your favourite sportsman/woman outside of motorcycling and why?

My ju-jitsu sensei Gareth Rainey who has coached me from the age of 5 to get to my black belt. 

What constitutes a successful season in 2025?

A high fitness level, plenty of bike time and determination. 

If you weren’t a racer, what job would you be doing?

Something to do with being a stuntman. I love the adrenaline and the technical skill involved—it’s probably the closest thing to racing without actually being on the grid!

Favourite cheat meal?

 Good oul fish supper. Can’t beat them!

Favourite boxset or TV Show to binge?

 Top Gear — cars, bikes, and a bit of chaos, what’s not to love?

You’re on a 12-hour flight – what three films are you definitely watching?

Id most likely watch the Minions, Despicable Me 3 and Despicable Me 4

Best holiday destination?

Probably Portugal, It’s not too warm and it’s something different from Spain since Im there a lot for training.
