I enjoy watching F1, but todays races look nothing like this battle between Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve....

Also those - two cars wide in tight corner exercises were hard to believe. You'd think they would have been in the marbles. Great driving |

This was one of the best F1 duels of all time. Like URY914 I remember watching it as it happened.

Like URY914 I remember watching it as it happened. van914 Several years ago (10+) I was talking to a friend about this race and told him I would love to have it on video as it was one if not the best races ever. He had seen it too. We both agreed that it was a lost treasure. Now it's back. Thank you Al Gore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

If you do a You Tube search on F1 its amazing what one can find! Great vintage race footage from 50's to present day racing. Some of the 60's era stuff is just too cool. My driving hero Fangio is even there.
