As you say there were quite a few lost talents from that era. Pryce certainly had the ability to do more, his car control was out of this world, as you say out of the Peterson book rather than Prost. His death showed what lax in safety was in those days. He deserves to be remembered. I have heard good things about the Lost Generation
And Nilsson too could have achieved more.

I remember seeing Tony Brise win a race at Silverstone in his Kent Messenger March , it was either an F3 car converted to F Atlantic or the other way around - either way he was the underdog and blitzed the race My Dad knew Andy Smallman who was a designer to died in the same aircraft crash it would seem he was quite a design talent - a dark day on Arkley Golf Course
