Born the son of a wealthy Parisian jeweller, Cevert sought adventure and found it in the form of motor racing, winning the French Volant Shell driver training award. From there a French Formula 3 championship ensued in 1968 with a brief stint driving a Tecno in F2 before being asked to replace Johnny Servoz-Gavin at Tyrrell. In the following three years preceding his death, Cevert won the USGP at Watkins Glen (\u201971), scored several Grand Prix podium finishes and placed 2nd in the 24-Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n

This site honors Cevert\u2019s memory with several pages of photos and quotes, as well as pages devoted to Cevert\u2019s race record and even a story of how a fortune-teller allegedly foretold of his death!<\/p>\n
