About this poster
A hometown hero, a brand-new circuit and a first win, all on the same afternoon. On 8 October 1978 the last race of the season was the first Grand Prix on the island circuit of Île Notre-Dame, built on the site of the 1967 World's Fair. Jean-Pierre Jarier started from pole and led by a long way until his car failed him, which handed the lead to Gilles Villeneuve, the young Quebecer in the red flat-12 single-seater, number 12. He led the last 21 laps in front of his own people to take his first Grand Prix win, 13.372 seconds ahead of Jody Scheckter, with Carlos Reutemann third. Today the circuit carries Villeneuve's name.
On the sheet a red, a dark navy and a red band run to the finish line in finishing order, numbers 12, 20 and 11. In the corner a hand-drawn, photorealistic front of the red and white winner, and along the bottom the race in numbers: 70 laps of the 4.500 km circuit, 315 km at 160.4 km/h, and the 21 laps he led.
