1979, French Grand Prix.
Gilles Villenueve driving for Ferrari vs. Rene Arnoux in the Renault.
This battle was for 2nd place.
The tape is sped up some, but pretty awsome otherwise. This was during the turbo, slicks,and big balls era of Formula 1 racing.

A buddy of mine just sent that link to me and I was going to post it.

I could watch that duel over and over, it doesn't get any better.

Thanks for posting that clip. :cool:
I loved it so much that I had to watch it over and over again!

I'll bet there were some serious flat spots on Mr V's tires by the end of that race!

vwfreak,

*Anyone have any footage of the six wheel Elf Racing car from the same era?*
