  • Where is Gilles?

  • Gilles drove the red Ferrari and Ronnie drove the six-wheeled Tyrell. As I recall Gilles drove into Ronnie from behind. I remember (Yes, I'm that old!) footage from the accident where it looks as Gilles is flying over Ronnies car!

  • @orzel313 Is that supposed to be funny?

  • This is very sad thing. Two Japanese died. この事故で二人の日本人が亡くなりました。合掌。

  • Fuji speedway was one of the fastest F1 tracks back then. Gotta love the Japanese sport commentators then and now.

  • @orzel313 they didnt ..but by coincidence there both died .. ronnie 1 year later and gilles 5..

  • @pzanzerl  the people who died were in a section next to the track where they should not have been. It was forbiden to stand there. I think it was photographers, they went there anyway to get better picts. It's not Gilles' fault if they where there.

  • @RimRiderQC

    No wonder, Sony developed BetaMax and JVC developed VHS.

    The only rival was Philip's Video2000, which never really took off.

  • @T1carus OK, i'll try to, cheers,......

  • @pzanzerl stop being an idiot

  • i know ive seen video footage of this crash somewhere

  • It`s incredible Gilles survived that crash. Guess it`s the way the car landed...and where as well. But how the hell he walked away from it is something else.

    Sadly, of course, his luck rang out in Zolder '82. -Daz in Oz
