Although his sole Grand Prix appearance was in a Cooper, Peter's reputation was built as a Lotus man. Consistently high placings in the marque's early sports cars between 1955 and 1957 brought him a works drive, but a broken collar-bone sustained in a crash at Rouen ended his season. On his return in 1959 Peter drove some sparkling races, the best of which saw him win the Auvernge Trophy in a Lotus XI at Clermont Ferrand, beating Behra's RS Porsche.

Though there were no further opportunities to compete in Grands Prix, Ashdown raced on until 1962, driving a Lola in Formula Junior, and his gift for handling small-capacity sports cars was underlined by class wins in the Nürburgring 1000 Km in both 1960 and 1962.
