1977 in Italy
A man puts down newspaper and starts speaking.
"What is the snowmobile kid's name again?"
"Villeneuve, Gilles Villeneuve, sir."
"I see," looks at the newspaper again "well he does seem to know how to drive fast cars. We could give him another chance in big league, what do you think?"
"Sir, with all respect to your deduction and judgement, I think that it is a too risky move."
"Well, we will not find out until we try it, no?"
"Well yes but..."
"I do not want to hear anything else, I want this Gilles Villeneuve to race for me no matter what."
1974 in Canada
"Are you nervous, Gilles?"
"Me?" chuckles slightly and continues, "you know me, I never feel such emotions."
"I know, just please be careful on the track."
"Of course I'll be... just a little, don't want to leave you to raise our children alone," says and winks at her.
After he said this they press their foreheads against each other and then Gilles walks away into shared changing rooms for racers.
There he changes into his racing suit and chats with his fellow racing driver Jim Curtis.
"What do you say Gilles? It was quite a wild season so far, huh?"
"Honestly I'm gonna miss this man."
"So is it true that you won't race with us next season then?"
"Yeah it is," sighs "but please don't tell Joann, she doesn't know yet."
"I promise I won't. Why would I tell her or your kids anyway?" notices Gilles' face expression, "but you don't seem very cheerful, what's the matter man?"
Gilles looks at Jim and smirks, "well let's say that paid a big price for the chance in this higher league."
"All drivers please arrive to your vehicles on the track please" echoes throughout the whole areal of the snocross track.
After that Gilles and Jim wish good luck to each other and walk to the track Gilles' mechanics pat his shoulder and wish him luck as well as he walks past them. After he arrives to his snowmobile he sits down on it and puts on hood, helmet and gloves. Then he looks for his wife and kids and waves his hand at them as a smile appears on his face hidden under his helmet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming here today to watch the final race of this season. We of course know why you came... to witness the conclusion of the intense title battle between Gilles Villeneuve and Jim Curtis," applause and jubilance echoes throught the whole areal, "Gilles leads only by a single point, so he must finish in front of Jim to become the snocross world champion. However this task won't be easy for Gilles by any chance because he is starting from third position and Jim is starting far ahead from first position," another wave of applause and jubilance sounds in the fan crowd.
"The tension was enough, now let's go racing and finally decide who after these ten minutes of racing leaves this circuit as a world champion and who leaves as a runnerup. Racers, get ready and start your engines!" after he finishes the sentence, the whole area sinks into the loud noice of reving snowmobile engines.
