400 HO Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Here's the story... (Best car video I've EVER seen!!!) FU if it's a repost! 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. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2851488008488190547&q=lelouch%3e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Not only is it a repost, but it's a recent repost. I probably posted this about a month ago. Regardless, I can't watch this enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 it would be cool if they used the real audio clip from the movie.. if you notice he's not even going as fast as he sounds.. and the tire squealing around 5mph turns is retarded.

still2hi Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 it would be cool if they used the real audio clip from the movie.. if you notice he's not even going as fast as he sounds.. and the tire squealing around 5mph turns is retarded. I agree. The sound is to much like a video game. Would be cool if there were real sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 it would be cool if they used the real audio clip from the movie.. if you notice he's not even going as fast as he sounds.. and the tire squealing around 5mph turns is retarded. I think it's the gyro mounted camera and the age of the film that causes that, the camera mounted the way it is takes away the sense of speed. Remember, it was filmed in 1978! Great video!
