Description
Gilles Villeneuve became a legend in his own time, a driver whose skill and daring personified the ideals of Grand Prix racing, the pinnacle of motor sport.
With his flamboyantly aggressive, press-on-regardless style in his scarlet Ferrari, he captured the imagination of a vast international audience as no other driver has in recent times.

Reviews / Votes
Donaldson has delivered the ultimate tribute to a remakable sportsman. * Daily Telegraph * Meticulously researched, finely structured to a remarkable sportsman. * The Times * A quite brilliant book. This is, without doubt, the best motor racing book this reviewer has ever read. * Autosport * It is true to say that I had great difficulty in putting this book down. Don't miss it. -- Murray WalkerMore details
