Watch this Ferrari Video! Wild! Dashboard vid in Paris.
Turn up the sound, and click full screen view.

The driver is a Formula 1 racecar driver, but still crazy as hell.

Wow, and shame on the driver.

:dilemma:

6. No kidding.
And the damned thing was going so fast, you wouldn't even have time to think about jumping out of the way.

7. i have it on DVD
and it is called "Rendevous" by Claude Lelouch

he had a gyroscopic camera (which was still very new technology at the time) and some leftover film (about 10 mins of footage) left from his current project, and wanted to make a little teaser film to run before his movies....

13. It was 1976
And he was arrested. The authorities wanted to know the identity of the driver. He refused to give him up.

Purported to have been a 275 GTB hitting speeds of 140mph.

May have been a Mercedes with the Ferrari audio overdubbed:

8. I thought this was gonna be the one
with the guy on a freeway who had the camera mounted so you could see the speedometer. He got up to 300 kph.

11. Lunacy!
D-d-dayyam! He should have his license revoked for life based on that footage. Love the way that engine screams, though. I drive like that in GTA: San Andreas. But I leave a lot of dead people in my wake.

12. I am not going to lie: That was really cool. Incredibly cool
but it was also stupid and dangerous and self-serving...


But damn!
