Unfortunately, I could not find an unabridged race video, as is often the case with the pre-1990 races. This highlights reel has most of the fun anyway. This race is mostly notable for the thrilling fight between Rene Arnoux, driving for Renault in their turbocharged car, and Gilles Villeneuve, driving as the #2 driver for Ferrari.

This race is also notable for being held at the Dijon-Prenois Circuit which held the French Grand Prix sporadically during the years where it was usually held at Paul Ricard.

Fun fact: Dijon-Prenois hosted the Swiss Grand Prix once in 1982 (and as a non-championship event in 1975), as motor racing is still largely banned in Switzerland since the 1954 LeMans catastrophe

Good race. Wish we still had a French Grand Prix.
