A Wild Ride in 1978

"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 quite an interesting video because not only is it an exhilirating ride through Paris, France but it is also accompanied now with a Google map that shows the route taken. The map tracks along in time with the video and you can toggle between different map views.

Thanks to Sassan for posting a link on his blog to this.
