My god was he in a hurry to meet that girl or what!? Imagine a beautiful
Paris evening in 1978 with few cars or pedestrians around and you see
some Ferrari roar past you doing 140 MPH! Would you say, "nah, couldn't
be" and go on about your business or would you race home to tell
everybody and get ridiculed for telling a preposterous story! One thing
though, I wish it had been a bigger frame and that I had a copy of it.
Pretty amazing stuff! @:)>

"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."
"When this film was first shown, Lelouch was arrested, and because of this,
the footage has spent many years underground before it began to resurface
on DVD a few years ago."
