That was a legendary race at Dijon; remember seeing it on television in 1979, it was breathtaking. I saw Gilles Villenueve's 4th GP at Long Beach, which he led until he tangled with Reggazoni while passing. That was one of the best I have ever seen in 30 years of spectating.
Thanks Larry

Great video!! That is what F1 used to be like until it became a pit stop contest, too bad! If one takes a bit of time to look around "youtube" there are all sorts of great clips just like that, all you have to do is look.
There are also some very morbid videos on there too..... I found a 10 minute link that someone put together that showed many of the on track deaths that have occured over the last 50 years in F1. It is pretty graphic in some parts. It is amazing to see how many people died b/c of fire or the lack of safety crews getting there in time to put out the fire.
ps: As a racer I don't want to see the link again nor will I post it. If you would like to see it take some time and look around "youtube" yourself.
Anyway, that was a great video..
