  • Great video and thanks for sharing. Great to hear James Hunt too.

    Where did you get this?

  • I have most of the 1980 races on DVD. Hopefully i'll get round to uploading some more sometime.

  • Gilles was 2nd in that dog of a car? The 312T5 was probably the worst F1 Ferrari ever and they ended the constructors' championship in 11'th place in 1980. Gilles could get podiums in a bad car. He was special.

  • Yes Murray, very, very strong cars...

  • "I don't have any fear of a crash. No fear of that. Of course, on a fifth gear corner with a fence

    outside, I don't want to crash. I'm not crazy. But if its near the end of practice, and you're

    trying for pole position maybe, I guess you can squeeze the fear ..."

  • UNA VERDADERA LASTIMA DE QUE LA F1 NO VENGA MAS A ARGENTINA UN PAIS TAN FIERRERO

  • The one and only!!!!!!!!!

  • Mainly suspension failure but also serious steering problems as Gilles felt no steering movement whatsoever.

    So yes, Gilles still doing OK with the T5 in 1980 was quite a feat. He often used in typical French-Canadian language the term 'Shit car'.

    Both Gilles and Jody got so irrate they communicated directly to Enzo, pointing the incompetence of the team's directors and concept staff.

  • Murray's comment about safety...how ironic

  • He hopped out so fast

  • SO strong infact, that you can se his legs through the fibreglass body lol! - The drivers were getting into timebombs back then!

  • Let me know what youre interested in. I have every race between 1978-2008 and much more before that.

  • Tell me what you want and i'll get it for you.

  • Thats fab I wish I did , the reviews of the seasons of VHS give no insight I think into how fascinating the late 70s/early 80s were.
