    thats some great racing footage, classic wheel -to wheel at its best. Didn't understand a word the commentators said (well only one word "FERRARI") but it sure sounded like they were really into it.

    This is one of the best overtaking moves I've ever seen.

    Nelson Piquet going around the outside of Ayrton Senna in 1986 and sliding round the corner in World Rally Championship style!

    Wow! That was brilliant. I wonder what Senna thought? He must have assumed that Piquet was going to go off.

    """A wet October weekend in upstate New York echoes as perhaps the greatest demonstration of wet weather driving that F1 has ever known.

    Teammate Scheckter recalls, "I scared myself rigid that day... Then I saw Gilles' time and... I still don't really understand how it was possible." Gilles had lapped Watkins Glen eleven seconds quicker than his second-placed Ferrari teammate!

    Rain was falling on Sunday afternoon as the cars staged for the warm up lap and the field would start the race on treaded rain tires. Alan Jones sat on pole with Piquet to his left and Villeneuve directly behind him in third. The fiercely competitive Canadian was disappointed to be off pole position. When the field was turned loose, however, Gilles immediately made his move; in treacherous conditions he out braked Jones and Piquet to take the lead at the first corner! Only regular pit stops would drop the Ferrari driver briefly out of the lead, but Villeneuve was unstoppable. When the chequered flag signaled the end of the event, fully 49 seconds separated him from Rene Arnoux in second place!"""

    What a lot of people do not know is that Villenenuve had a misfire and believed he could have gone quicker
