Two of the greats!
Someone asked Bob Varsha on twitter what he thought the stewards would do if two drivers battled it out like that in a race these days. He answered simply that they would faint. I laughed!
That just gave me the chills! It looked unreal! What amazing talent.
That duel still sets the standard for what racing is all about - thirty three years later.
Salut Gilles!
