Gilles Villeneuve died on 8 May 1982 at Zolder circuit in Belgium. Thirty-five years have passed, since then, to the publication of this book. A long time, a nothing, if we take into account the intensity of memory, the colours of passion.
Red above all, the red of his Ferraris, taken almost by chance, brought into a firmament within which he managed to amaze us, worry and give us absolute joy and fright.
He failed to win a world title. He won everyone's heart. A collective emotion, with a painful foreboding inside. A true, great sporting story, with a protagonist turned into a myth - that's it - immortal.
Wow, Gilles! Villeneuve. Il mito che non muore retraces, year by year, the daring career of Gilles Villeneuve through Ercole Colombo's photographs and Giorgio Terruzzi's texts.
The voices of the authors, exceptional narrators as both were eyewitnesses to the Canadian driver's life beyond the limit, lead us on a journey that begins in 1977 and ends in 1982.
From his debut in F1 to the tragic accident in Belgium, a spectacular photographic volume that allows us to relive the motoring romanticism that characterised that time, in which Villeneuve was a protagonist.
