Petrus Dionysius Lambertus Theodorus "Peter" Kox is a racing driver from the Netherlands.
Kox began racing in karts in 1978, winning five titles until 1982. In 1983, he moved to automobiles, winning the Marlboro Formula Ford Challenge and was second and third in the Benelux and Dutch Formula Ford 2000 Championships, respectively, the following year. His single-seater racing career was interrupted several times and only took off in 1989 when he won the Benelux Formula Opel Championship in 1989.
In 1990, Kox raced in the British Formula 3 Championship where he came third with two victories. He moved up to Formula 3000 in 1991, staying there for two seasons and winning one race.
Unable to find a seat in Formula One, Kox moved to touring cars driving a BMW, winning five races in the Dutch series in 1993 on his way to the championship title. In 1995, he became a works BMW driver in the German Supertouring Championship, coming second in the series, and also winning the Spa 24 Hours. In 1996, he joined BMW Motorsport, making a handful of British Touring Car Championship appearances but focusing his efforts on the development program for the McLaren F1 GTR, winning a race in the BPR Global GT Series. The following year he drove the car in the FIA GT Championship, winning once more. He also took a class win in the Spa 24 Hours with a Diesel-powered BMW.
From 1998 to 2000, Kox returned to touring cars, becoming a Honda works driver. He raced full-time in the BTCC in 1998 and 1999, before taking second place in the Euro STC in 2000. The following year, he joined the Carly Motors squad in a BMW and also took a win in a one-off race in the FIA GT Championship, with the Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello.
Kox continued with Prodrive for the following seasons, winning the GTS class in the Laguna Seca ALMS race in 2002 and the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2004 and 2005, he raced for several different teams, including Prodrive and Reiter Engineering. In 2006, he split his time between the MenX team, Aston Martin and Spyker, in FIA GT, Le Mans, Le Mans Series and ALMS.
In 2007 and 2008, Kox was a works driver for Lamborghini, driving in the FIA GT Championship and ADAC GT Masters. He took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2007 with the works Aston Martin and 2008 with IPB Spartak Lamborghini. He did win the Sepang 12 Hours in 2010 for Arrows Racing in a Lamborghini LP560.
Kox was a development driver for the Acura NSX GT3 in 2016, and would drive it in the 2017 Pirelli World Challenge for RealTime Racing.
