The best F1 overtaking sequence

Post by GregR » Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:00 pm

In my mind anyway... Not one of those montages, just 1979, Rene Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve. For others of the younger generation that may never have seen it, it's well worth a watch!

That's fantastic! 8) They can't get anywhere near that close to each other in modern F1. Wish I could have seen stuff like that live, but might have been a bit of a problem as it was the year I was born! :lol:

Younger generation? From the old man of the group? :roll:

Excellent clip, nothing like that in F1 these days!

Fair comment Rob, should've said for the "younger, and non-F1 geeks in the group" :D

Top quality stuff. If you long to see stuff like this, give F1 a miss and try Champcars, IRL or A1GP. Much more passing in these series. Also try watching an oval at least once. They can run lap after lap 3 wide jockeying for position at nearly 200mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDZUfOfYsW4
and the drivers aren't bad looking either
