Thank you for this! He used to live down the block from me when I was a boy in Redondo Beach, Calif. What a great man he was!

Great post! As a young kid, before he won the pole at Indy in '71, I remember him being criticized for "being there" just because he was the heir to the Revlon Company fortune. He showed them!

I remember I stayed home from high school one day and I decided
to turn on my small Radio that had 2 shortwave channels....and I
was laying in bed......with levis' on and tennis shoes....and all of
a sudden the radio gave out the news...that Peter Revson had been
killed during practice n Johannesburg ,S.A.,I immedicately sat up and
listened closer......I will never forget that day,that radio and the day I
took off from school.......

His brother, Doug, was killed racing, too. Can you imagine; you have a billion bucks but you can't bring your kids back.

shame. i think american Spirit and effort in F1 died with him (no offense to Andretti)

Peter was one feisty race driver and a quiet guy. 2nd in the 71' Indy 500, he won two F1 races in '73. Sadly, he lost his life in practice for the South African GP in '74 (suspension failure). Unknown and forgotten now, he would have been a superstar celebrity on todays standards - the guy had everything including being heir to a fortune estimated at $1 billion. He loved racing more than money. A true competitor. Thanks for this rare post.

Do you know i taped this off a satellite channel one night and never watched it. It suddenly dawned on me that i'd never watched it and found this interview at the end. I'd never heard him either. I've got another video in my favourites of him.
