  • “He was as good as Jim Clark”

    Dear Nigel,

    In June of 1977 I was wandering through the paddock of Mont Tremblant when I found myself standing in front the Wolf Can-Am car… These where those modified F5000 cars. (This was the weekend Brian Redman’s car got airborne on the back straight and Brian had quite an accident.) I remember looking directly into one driver’s eyes and he looked tired and frankly a bit scared. The driver of course was Chris Amon and I think this was his last motor race. I had seen Chris race in many Canadian Grand Prix and Can-Am races at Mosport and St Jovite. I had to wonder how such a talented drive ended up in that car. What are your recollections of the latter stages of Chris Amon’s career?
