A pre-season testing crash in 1989 left him a quadriplegic and thus using a wheelchair, with the quality of the care he received in the aftermath having been called into question,^[1] even if the accident itself was so serious the roll-bar broke on impact.^[2]

He has organised the Masters Karting Paris Bercy.

Belgian Luc Costermans, who had broken the World blind road speed record in late 2008, dedicated his record to Streiff.^[3][4]
