Memory of a Warrior

Peter Revson at the wheel of his Shadow during the 1974 Brazilian Grand Prix. Revson qualified 6th, but did not finish. Tragically, this would prove to be Revson’s last Grand Prix, as he was killed in a testing accident in South Africa shortly thereafter. Photo: Pete Lyons – www.petelyons.com

What I preferred to see was his marvelous talent, his quiet, thoughtful intelligence, and his determination to fulfill his life’s potential on his own terms.
