"While Claude Lelouch refuses to say who the driver was (although believed to be an F1 driver of the time) the car was his own Ferrari 275 GTB"
"The route taken in the film is 10.42 km long (6.48 mi). It takes the driver 7:57 to cover that distance, giving him an average speed of 78.64 km/h (48.86 mph)."

I guess the advent of hyper-realistic driving sims has lessened the impact that such a film probably once had on audiences. By now, we've all seen this sort of thing on our bigscreens in some Gran Turismo or Burnout or GTA game, but I imagine that at the time this film was made it was probably a very new and novel perspective.
Reminds me of some of the terror I wreak in GTA San Andreas.
