Gilles Villeneuve Oltre Il Limite

Product description

“A little great man” from Canada who came from virtually out of nowhere to the world of Formula 1 in the 1970s, where he shone as an authentic star until that tragic afternoon at Zolder on the 8th of May 1982.Gilles’ career in the “circus” was explosive and dazzling: within just a few years he had won over the crowds – infected with what at the time was called “Villeneuve fever” – as well as the heart of the Old Man, Enzo Ferrari, who wrote about his young driver, “He was a fighter and a champion and made Ferrari even more famous than it was and I loved him”. Following on from Ronnie Peterson and Ayrton Senna, in this new novel, again written with the flair of the consummate storyteller, Diego Alverà explore the legend of Gilles, the “Aviator” as he was nicknamed at the time, of the man and the driver who was rightly compared to the great Tazio Nuvolari. A novel to be read, as always, at a single sitting.
