    i’ve done some digging, and found out that the maker of the film was the driver, and it was in his own Mercedes, not a Ferrari. It was done at 5.30am to avoid traffic.

    It was definitly a Ferrari. Also it was not him, I remember reading a piece where he said that he would have ploughed it into the first wall or car.

    This photo (in the link) would suggest that it was a benz 450SEL a 6.9lt. with the Ferrari engine dubbed over.

    Also in wikipedia there is an article with references to him saying that he was the driver and it was a benz.

    This article is where most people get their info from, and claim that wikipedia is reliable. However just yesterday I called a columinst in a national newspaper ‘gay’ and emailed the article to him and it still has not been changed. (Oh and he took it as the joke it was and replied with a frendly e-mail.)

    was it ever leaked who the driver was?

    No it has been hinted at but he faces a lifetime racing ban (pointless now, he has probably quit) and jail.

    I agree he knew how to control a car but even on F1 the drivers make mistakes so it’s better than boy racers but still dangerous.

    Skinheads USA: Soldiers of the Race War

    Film about the sick ideas of skinheads in America. Scary how easy it seems to be able to recruit them and how much they can get away with.

    Maybe this is it?

    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. 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.

    Try this but it may not work.
