With seven wins from eight races at the wheel of his Premier Machine Tools Lola-Nissan, Peter dominated the 2017 BOSS Ireland Championship.

The championship win was achieved at the wheel of a Lola T96 powered by a NIssan AER World Series engine, which produces approximately 380bhp.

Peter Dwyer, 2017 BOSS Ireland Champion: "It has been a wonderful year for me and I'm honoured to join such famous names on this prestigious trophy. I will be back again for 2018 to defend my title and hopefully i can retain it.”
