For the younger crowd who may not know, Gilles Villeneuve went from racing snowmobiles to becoming a Formula 1 racing legend driving for Ferrari. He was one of the best F-1 drivers of all time and sadly lost his life on the race track in Belgium in 1982. R.I.P. Gilles.

Salut Gilles!

Forever, Villeneuve will remain the most complete and absolute incarnation of a racing driver. ''Individuals like Gilles only come to earth once. He was truly unique and I would have liked to see what career he would have had without this accident. He would have been crowned world champion, I am 100% convinced of that.'' Mario Andretti.

I am blessed to see Gilles race on the awesome Alouette Super at Boonville in 1973. Great memories. Probably the baddest sled ever with that Sachs 650 screaming.

Grazie Rene' Arnoux, grazie Gilles Villenueve. Jacques un grande abbraccio, avevi un papa' con cuore d'oro. Non ho capito una parola...ma Rene' e Gilles sono persone speciali, leggendarie, sempre nel cuore di noi tofosi. 💯🇨🇦

wow, never knew that Gilles was also talented constructor of snowmobiles. I mean.... that looked like Adrian Newey created back in those days. Thanks for precious upload of history.

Alouette super sno-pro 73-74 with 340.440.650 Sachs free air engine from Germany.. was powerful sled while back..Sachs 650 3 cyl f/a SA3 rx series 105 HP at 9500 r.p.m Alouette was made in Canada... very hard to find and very rare.. the Gilles Villeneuve museum Berthierville Q.C probably the only place you can see that twin track machine

Saw him at Lancaster New Hampshire with the skiroules, won the 250-340 and 440 their first time out in late January 1976, Polaris race director bob eastman was in the stands and remarked how well they cornered, it always shocked me Polaris never signed him to drive and his ifs design after that. The 73 super, 74 twin track and the 76 ifs skiroules , all super competive low budget sleds,

@wermach123 7 лет назад

Pat Rivard The sleds were thought to be lost to history , nobody had heard from them since 1976 or so. They are the holy Grail of racing snowmobiles, so it was with alot of excitement that one day last year a gentleman from Quebec posted pictures of his barn find discovery , it was two out of the three original Alloette twin track sleds , in unrestored condition. Although

@wermach123 7 лет назад

Pat Rivard Since that reveal I don't think much else has been said or released about the find other than rumors of them going to a few museums and whatnot.

I remember in 1995 when Jacques won the first Indycar race of the year I looked for an article in the local paper (Winnipeg Free Press) and all I found about the Indycar race was a list of the finishers...however there was a half page photo of his uncle, Jacques Sr. coming in second at the races in Beausejour that weekend.
