Revson: America's Grand Prix Superstar

Peter Revson was an American Superstar; a race car driver who won in everything he drove and became a national celebrity. Since 1970, more Americans have walked on the Moon than won a Formula One race. Revson carried American F1 interest on his shoulders as he won races and chased the World Championship. But at the height of his popularity, it all ended. From a privileged childhood to making it on his own, Revson climbed to the peak of auto racing's mountain by being one of the most talented drivers of his generation.
