Street racing in Paris

I do not recomend or condone this...but..??

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.

LOL

No I think it goes more like this

"When you think you can make it through the city and to the end of the race...you drive a Ferrari When you KNOW you can do it and finish, you drive a Lamborghini"

Ha HA

An oldie and a goodie. LOVE this video! There's still rumors swirling about that a Ferrari wasn't used but another car with a Ferrari soundtrack.

Ya there's been talk about that lately. Something's not right about it. Around 45 seconds or so when he rounds the corner and winds it out, the speed at which he's passing cars and the scenery is flying by does not match up to how fast he should be going given the soundtrack

That video has been around since the beginning of time. Sounds and speeds were believe to be all fake. But very entertaining nevertheless.
