10 Questions with Peter Dumbreck (GT3 Racing Driver)

How did it all start for you?

I was on a family holiday in Majorca when I was 11 and I tried karting for the first time. I liked it a lot so when we got home my father bought me a kart and I started racing.

What’s the most difficult thing about being a racing driver?

Uncertainty, especially in your early career of where you will race the next season and where you will find the money to do it! There can be a lot of waiting around as well.

If you weren’t a racing driver, what would you be doing?

I’m facing that question as I get older! It will all end at sometime and I’m lucky enough to have been racing most of my life. I think I would have been a sportsman or a trainer because I enjoy all sports.

What is the best/worst road car you have ever driven?

The best car I owned was a Porsche 911 Turbo - I loved it! The worst car was a Vauxhall/Opel Astra. I think it had been in a big accident and fixed. It was super twitchy and difficult to drive in a straight line!

What would your ideal sandwich have on it?

Coronation chicken.

What car(s) do you own now and what’s your daily driver?

BMWs - M3 and X5. Both are great cars.

Favorite car of all time?

My Dallara Toyota F3 car of 1998. I won the Japanese F3 championship and Macau GP in it.

Do you have any points on your driver’s license?

None at the moment…

RWD, AWD or FWD and why?

AWD - it’s the future! Including torque vectoring.

If you could be someone else for a day (dead or alive) who would you be?

Juan Manuel Fangio
