Jacques Villeneuve will get behind the wheel of his fathers Ferrari 312 T4, the car Gilles Villeneuve and Jody Scheckter successfully secured the 1979 Constructors’ title with, in tribute to his father.
1997 world champion Jacques will lap the Fiorano circuit on May 8th, 30 years since his father passed away following a crash during qualifying for the 1982 Belgian GP at Zolder.
“It will be a fitting occasion to evoke the memory of a man who has and always will have a place of honour in the history of Ferrari,” read a statement on Ferrari’s website.
“His memory is still vivid and alive in the minds of many at Maranello; his talent, his speed, his bravery which bordered on recklessness, all go to make his name still hugely popular with our fans, even among younger ones who have only been able to see him on replays of his races or read about him in stories written by journalists.”
