You are a lucky man to have seen Gilles win at Long Beach in 79. Up to the Spanish race he had won three in a row so I was hopeful of another victory but he did not have a great race at Jarama. I always regret not saying something to him when he walked by me after the race as I was waiting in line for the bus. I also see him race a couple of times during his Formula Atlantic period.
