Paralysed after a F1 testing crash in 1989, Streiff went on to run the Bercy kart challenge, which became a hugely popular event for many years. He was also a campaigner for the disabled, and was a consultant to businesses and the French government on how to improved disabled people's lives. Like the equally paralysed racer Clay Regazzoni, he was involved in developing driver aids for disabled drivers. Philippe was also involved in broadcasting, other media events and public relations. It was with much sadness when the news came through just prior to Christmas 2022, that Streiff had died, aged 67.
