@Toastbrot40

Yeah, you're right, such race fights will never happen today, they are more concerned

about the safety as for the racing :'-(

The only way that could have been any better is if it was for the win instead.

Simple answer:

0:22 is live, 0:48 is a replay,

look at the left upper corner.

...neither was I defending - my main point being (no matter what this specific vid shows) marciopdelgado's msg 8 months ago, claiming Massa vs. Kubica in Japan 07 was better.

[moogleii]

Alright, I may have missed that. Regardless, my main point was that the footage in this video is repeated. Compare 0:22 and 0:48. Arnoux has passed Villeneuve, yet he is doing the exact same takeover at 0:48. All camera angles and car positions are identical. At 0:58, you can briefly see the same shot of the crowd reacting exactly as they do at 0:32. I could go on, but I believe that is sufficient.

Arnoux took the position but Villeneuve attempted an outside pass one corner later. The cars bumped hard, Villeneuve slid wide but then passed Arnoux on the inside at a hairpin turn and held him off for the last half of the lap to secure second place."

That's 4 times.

Quoting Wiki :

"Arnoux passed Villeneuve for second place with three laps to go, but Villeneuve re-passed him on the next lap. On the final lap Arnoux attempted to pass Villeneuve again, and the pair ran side-by-side through the first few corners of the lap, making contact several times.

Heh, wasn't trying to challenge you. I was merely pointing out that the footage here was repeated. I'm not sure how you can be more sure than that. For the sake of posterity, I looked up Villeneuve's wiki, and it only describes 2 takeovers in this race, which would match the unedited version of this video.
