A Brief Ferrari Trip Through Paris - Rendevous

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a


gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a

friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through

the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10

minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the

Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140

MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights,

nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real

one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was

arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film

went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

Make sure your sound is on , sit down, fasten your seat belt, and HOLD

ON!!!!!

That was awesome TK! Reminds me of the Seven-ups or Bullit. They just don't make them like that anymore. Everything has to be scheduled and permitted to death. Thanx again!!

Whoever this formula 1 driver was, he has mad braking skills!
Excellent post TK I loved every minute of that.
