Claude Lelouch's "Rendezvous"... (Ferrari racing through Paris)

[bowzer85]

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

This is one of my favorite racing videos, makes me feel like I'm right there. Especially with the sounds..

Anyone who appreciates cars has already seen this and anyone who doesn't won't care.

I appreciate cars, very much so, and I had never seen this before. My friend Andy sent it to me and I thought it was badass enough to post.
