Gilles and Didier Pironi

After Didier Pironi was killed in that power boat accident, his then girlfriend had twins and she named them Didier and Gilles.

Theoretically there is a picture of them in the January 12, 1989 issue of Paris Match (I just checked Google and I think that's what it said) but I've never heard of them since.

Does anyone know what happened to them and is the Pironi racing in F3000 now a relation?

is there a Pironi racing in F3000? They would only be about 15 now so still too young at the moment.

The one we're getting on Speed Channel. I have no idea which one that is, because we have never had it before. Pizzonia is in it, and a very good looking French kid named Olivier, and an Italian named Paolo something.
