Peter Cunningham

Peter "P.D." Cunningham (born July 1, 1962) is an American race car driver and owner of RealTime R&L, Inc., based in Saukville, Wisconsin and currently competing in the Pirelli World Challenge GT Championship. His name and his team, RealTime Racing, have become synonymous with the Honda and Acura brands. Through 2013, he has claimed 91 professional race wins across 12 different North American road racing series and holds numerous World Challenge records. Early career Cunningham was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a recent high school graduate in June 1980, Cunningham happened upon an autocross, a driving contest held in a parking lot around a pylon-defined course against the clock. After winning his class on that first day, he became enamored and engulfed in the sport. Over the next several years, he won numerous regional and national titles in SCCA Solo II competition. Cunningham's driving talent then evolved into road racing where he raced a number of Showroom Stock cars from 1982-1984. Attempting to balance college classes with his desired career path wasn't working for him, and despite the disappointment of his family, he quit school to chase his dream. In 1984, he won the June Sprints and a handful of other races on his way to winning the SCCA CEN-DIV SSC Championship in a SAAB 99 GLi.
