Default Remembering Gilles.

Today is May 8th, which in 1982 was a very sad day as racing lost one of it's brightest, if not THE brightest stars as Gilles Villeneuve passed away in a crash during a qualifying in Zolder.

He never won a championship but in my mind, he was the greatest ever.

Here's maybe the best ever last few laps driven, battle between Gilles & Rene Arnoux.
