Street racing in Paris

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 early in
the morning . 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. If you haven’t
seen this before it is a classic, if you have seen it I
apologize, but it’s still a classic. Turn on your
sound and enjoy.

Really? Kinda surprised you’d not heard of this before. Huh. Word of advice, watch it with a nice set of speakers. Mmmm italian.

I had my grado 225s on my head when I just watched it… I do remember hearing about this a while ago, but forgot about it.
