Peter "Pete" William Broeker (15 May 1926 - 4 November 1980)[1] was a racing driver from Canada. He participated in one World Championship Formula One Grand Prix, the 1963 United States Grand Prix, driving a Stebro, a car of his own construction.[2] He finished seventh, albeit 22 laps down, and scored no championship points. According to the Toronto Star at the time: "Broeker, first Canadian ever to compete in a world championship Formula One race in a Canadian-built car, finished seventh over-all despite giving away more than 80 horsepower to the rest of the field of 21."[3] He owned Stebro, an aftermarkets performance parts company that is still in operation.
In 1973 Broeker wrote and published Olympic Coins: From Antiquity to the Present.[4] He held US citizenship as well as Canadian.[1]
