I just wondered if anyone has a full list of all the cars and drivers present at the pre GP test at Kyalami in 1974?
Thanks in advance

From Motoring News 28th March 1974.
Ronnie Peterson topped the small list of early runners.

Carlos Reutemann Brabham BT44 - 1m 16.7s
Emerson Fittipaldi McLaren - 1m 17.0s
Jody Scheckter Tyrrell - 1m 17.1s

The list should also presumably include poor Peter Revson in the Shadow DN3.

In Revson's entry at Motorsport Memorial Nanni Dietrich mentions that Dave Charlton and Eddie Keizan were also participating in the testing.

That's ten cars, whereas I have been led to believe there were 17 cars present. There was a TV crew there (there is a little footage of Jody in 006/2) and a few photographers, but there seems to be little available to see (apart from, and sadly, the Revson footage /pictures). So I wonder who the other seven were?
