Hi Nordic,
Great clip of GV. Any footage of the little Canadian makes me misty-eyed. I always have great sympathy for those who never had the opportunity to see Gilles race in person.
It was something that just defied description. The guy was clearly working at a different level than the mere mortals around him. I was standing with my dad, uncle, and brother along the fencing at Mid-ohio in 1976 watching Formula Atlantic pratice, lap after lap GV came past in a perfectly controlled drift. My uncle turned to me after a few minutes and said "that little Canadian guy is going to be a helluva racer, if he lives long enough".
