Interview with Peter Cunningham
TouringCarTimes is proud that it can cover most forms of touring car racing around the globe. One series that does not get a lot of coverage this side of the Atlantic, a championship that we do cover here on TcT, is the North American series the SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge Touring Car championship.
The World Challenge Touring Car class was first introduced back in 1994, and then, just a year later the current class format of Sports and Touring Cars was born. Many major manufacturers and world-class drivers have competed in this prestigious championship and this coming season sees more technical changes to the cars.
The 2008 champion was Peter Cunningham driving a RealTime Racing Acura TSX. He has spent all his racing life in a ‘tin-top’ albeit in a saloon or sports car. He won the 2005 SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge Touring Car Championship and has finished as runner-up in the GT Challenge Championship in 2002 and also in the 1997 North American Super Touring Championship.
TouringCarTimes editor Ed Peters got to talk to the current champion as he prepares for the new season ahead.
