Gilles is my favorite driver of all time.......... a pure
racer. I was there at Mosport park in 1977 when he made his
Cavalino debut...... I was at The Glen in 1979 when he was the
fasted driver in a monsoon practice session...he was 11+ seconds
faster than the 2nd fastest driver (his team mate, Jody Scheckter...)....
I saw him win at The Glen in '79, I saw him come in 2nd at Montreal
in a great fight with the Williams of Alan Jones in the same
year. In 1981 he came in 3rd without a front wing during a
monsoon at Montreal...... he was loved by Enzo and the F1
world..... he is still missed today......
