	Grand Prix Hall of Fame - Gilles Villeneuve - Biography
		The quality of the cars that Gilles had at his disposal was uneven, and much of his racing was against the last of the world-conquering Lotuses, the ground effects 79.
		Villeneuve, however, asserted a definite au contraire in a sliding, wheel-banging, tire-boiling duel with Arnoux that no witness to it is likely to forget.
		Villeneuve's insane insistence that his slower Ferrari could beat Arnoux's faster Renault was rewarded, and he finished just ahead of the Frenchman.

	Gilles Villeneuve - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		After Villeneuve impressed McLaren driver James Hunt by beating him, and several other Grand Prix stars, in a non-championship Formula Atlantic race at Trois Rivieres, McLaren offered Villeneuve a deal for five races in a third car during 1977 and the young Canadian made his debut at the 1977 British Grand Prix.
		Villeneuve had been considered favourite for the drivers championship by UK bookmakers, but would only score six points in the whole campaign in the unwieldy 312T5 which had only partial ground effects.
		Villeneuve's car was launched into the air before nose-diving into the soft earthen embankment just outside the armco and somersaulting along the side of the track.

		Gilles stripped the car down, learning as he did so and eventually the old car became roadworthy although he was still legally under-age.
		The early races of the 1974 series were disappointing and in the midseason Villeneuve crashed heavily at Mosport Park and broke his leg in two places.
		In the year that followed the Villeneuve legend grew and was not eclipsed until the death of Ayrton Senna 12 years later.

	F1A&G - Gilles Villeneuve
		Gilles had a talent for taking anything mechnical and "utterly destroying it," according to Ferrari, who compared Villeneuve's will to win to that of the legendary Tazio Nuvolari of the 1930s.
		Yet Pironi passed Villeneuve before the Tosa hairpin with 1/2 lap remaining and took the win, causing Villeneuve — who said "I was cruising along so easily and believed that Pironi was being honest until he slid past me with all wheels locked" — to vow he would never speak to his team mate again.
		The suicide-in-installments that was Villeneuve's life had reached its final phase, driving Enzo Ferrari to tears and leading Villeneuve's own son, 1997 World Champion Jacques, to adopt a calculating and far different approach to the "art and genius" of Grand Prix racing.

		Gilles Villeneuve (January 18, 1950 - May 8, 1982) was born in the small town of Berthierville, Quebec, Canada.
		Perhaps his greatest achievements came in 1981, where he wrestled an unwieldy turbo Ferrari to victory in the Monaco Grand Prix, followed by a classic of defensive driving at the Spanish Grand Prix, keeping 5 quicker cars behind him using his tactical acumen and the superior straightline speed of his car.
		After glimpses of promise in the opening races, Villeneuve was back at the front for the San Marino Grand Prix, only for his team-mate Didier Pironi to disobey team orders and beat him to the line.

	Gilles Villeneuve - Zandvoort '79
		On the 47th lap, Villeneuve finally lost it in a huge spin at the chicane from which he immediately recovered with the customary screaming high rpm wheel spin and huge clouds of tire smoke!
		Gilles sawed away at the steering wheel, the useless rear tire unable to provide adequate purchase for full-scale panic braking.
		Gilles was soon nearly up to a speed worthy of an able-bodied machine, but even Enzo Ferrari's stoutest fabrication was unable to withstand such punishment.

	Remembering Gilles
		Sure there are the Schumachers and the Montoyas, and of course his son, Jacques, but they lack that certain magic; the wildness and emotion that Gilles brought to the track.
		I don't hesitate in stating that Gilles was certainly the last of his kind.
		Living and driving with the simple philosophy that values such as honesty, trust and sportsmanship, were just as important as winning - living for the sheer thrill of driving quickly.

	Gilles Villeneuve signed magazine clipping
		This is a mounted (NOT professionally done!) magazine clipping of the late Gilles Villeneuve (1950 - 1982) that was signed by Gilles.
		Gilles Villeneuve signed items are very, VERY rare and we are happy to be able to offer this definitely out-of-the-ordinary piece.
		The clipping itself is not dated but appears to be an advertisment for Autosport magazine and the silhouet of Gilles was cut out of a large color photo of Gilles sitting in his Ferrari at the 1978 Long Beach Grand Prix which was consequently mounted over the clipping.
