He started uploading videos on YouTube all the way back in 2010, filming cars at a local car show. His first channel (Carspotter3) no longer exists, but he did re-upload most old videos on his Carspotter9 channel. 
In 2014, he and four of his friends [aqQnm0, YaQup, KleinDavy & XeCu7eRr] created a new channel called Let's Craft Together!. The original channel name and logo can still be found in the outro of his old videos. For about two years, they uploaded videos playing games such as Minecraft, Fifa, Forza, GeoGuessr and many more.
Peter took over the channel in 2016, switching to just racing-game videos and changing the channel name to The Racing Monkey. During the same year, he uploaded his infamous FH2 Speed Glitch video which resulted in a shoutout from TheSlapTrain, AR12Gaming and BlackPanthaa. The simultaneous shoutout from the three biggest Forza-creators at the time gave his channel a big boost in popularity. The FH2 Speed Glitch video went on to be the first ever Forza video to cross the 10 million view mark on YouTube.
