Driving video

I found the link to the weekend motoring section’s racetrack video I talked about last week.
There’s not as much loud engine noise and vision of racing around the track as I would have liked, but you get to see a bit of it. Vision of the full fast lap, with all the sounds that go with that, would have been a pleasurable end to the video.
If you want that fix, check out C’était un Rendezvous, a 1976 film by Claude Lelouch where he fitted a camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive it through the streets of Paris at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
The following YouTube video may not work if it’s been taken down since I posted this. If it’s not available, follow the links below.
