The battle for second place

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux battle in this classic duel for second place at the 1979 French Grand Prix. Racing like this does not exist any more. I used to watch every F1 grand prix but these days I really can’t watch it for longer then 10 minutes, just to boring.

During the eighties Porsche dominated group C and IMSA sportscar racing with the 956/962. The Rothmans sponsored Porsche 956′s won the Le Mans 24 hours four times. The 962 reign lasted till 1994 when the Dauer 962 won the 24 hours of Le Mans. This video shows Derek Bell blasting down the Mulsanne Straight, nearly hitting 400km/h.
