30 years ago I arrived at a miserable Zolder circuit for the Belgium GP for it to only get more miserable with the passing of Gilles Villeneuve that day.
I was fortunate enough to of witnessed him racing before that fatefull day.
Here as a way of remembering are a couple of pics I took of him.

I still watch clips on you tube of him today. Almost drove like a rally driver with the tail hanging out on a lot of corners!

Cheers for the comments, it was a lot easier to copy a pit pass in those days ;)
