Forget Getaway in Stockholme, try "C'etait un Rendezvous"

Hi All,

I got a copy of C'etait un Rendezvous by Claude Lelouch on DVD today, it is incredible.

Made back in 1977, Jaques Lafitte took Claude's ferrari for a quick run thru Paris at dawn. Only 9 min, but is is absolutely flat out (close call with a bus too...)

Sure, it sounds like Getaway in Stockholme, but it is *far* more extreme.

Here a couple of reviews:

Spectacular!

I ordered my copy of rendezvour yesterday and should have it in a few days. I have a copy on video but this should be heaps better as the quality is poor. It is without question one of the best pieces of real life driving footage ever filmed. There are many rumours sorrounding it like that the driver is actually a F1 driver of the time etc. Along with the Ruf Porsche circulating around Nurburgringn and Arri going up pickes Peak, it is my favourite footage of all time.

Hurry up mail man,

Mick.

Mostly because of those crappy 70's crossply tyres he's got

Claude leLouch drove the Ferrari, he admitted so a coupla years back. get the DVD as there's some really cool extras on it...

For my money, it ranks alongside:

Climb Dance (Ari Vatenan in Peugeot 405 T16 vs Pikes Peak)

In-car 956 (Derek Bell in LeMans winning Porsche 956 round the old Nurburgring, LeMans, Kyalami, and more)

RUF CTR Porsche on Nurburgring

Also, cross-ply tyres weren't fitted to Ferraris after the early 60s. It was only Fords that took until the late 70s to get radials...

[Duncan]

sonic, I've been meaning to watch both of those vids, haven't come across them yet....

Yeah, the grip from they tyres sucked....but the real *crazy* thing is how he goes flat thru so many blind intersections - the driver seriously had a death wish...I don't mind driving fast, but only where I can see what everyone else is up to...

[Sonic]

You know WHY he did it?

There was 300m of film left over from another project plus an innovative new way to mount a camera.

Excess film + new, untrialled bonnet mounting method + 1976 Ferrari = 9mins of terror...

i've had that on dvd for a few months now and i still watch it at least once a week.

its a bloody adrenaline rush and it sounds sooo good

how much fun would he have had doing that!

where can i get the other vids metioned?

they sound good

any other good not to be missed vids?

[Mick Trainer]

I dont know where you can get these patches of footage from now days. I have never seen them on DVD and we had them cause of links with motorsport people and running the advanced driver training.

If you can't find them then let me know and I can do a copy of it for you if you get me a video tape. The quality can be a little rough now days but still worth it and I will need a few weeks to do it time wise.

Another piece I have which I love in I have the in car footage of Senna doing the fastest Lap around Adelaide. Just lets me remember his greatness esp when the cars were so hard to drive back then. Really nice piece of footage.

Mick.

I should also add in some of the Tiff Needall footage is top notch.

Woops

downloaded it from Kazza and u cant see shit. Its night time and you can hardly see anything. The size of the file was around 62MB. Is this the right one? Waste of bloody time downloading if it is.

Well either way, they are shithouse!

[Dreg01]

yeah i used to have some mad clips of tiff, that man really knows how to drive

[Duncan]

ImPrOvIsE, I ripped the file from the DVD and it was 70mb, but I suspect you found a rip for a poor quality vhs copy, the DVD is excellent.

Don't have room to host it though...
