Video from 1970 LeMans

Not sure this qualifies as off-topic, but it certainly is very cool and I hadn't seen before tonight. French television has apparently released footage from the 1970 Le Mans 24 hours. Lots of good 917, 908, 911, 914 p-car footage and a bit of Ferrari 512 goodness thrown in as well. Mandatory viewing if you haven't seen it already.

Vidéo Ina - 24 Heures du Mans auto1970 : film officiel, vidéo 24 Heures du Mans auto1970 : film officiel, vidéo Sport Auto Moto - Archives vidéos Sport Auto Moto : Ina.fr

Video is 25+ minutes. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting that cool video. I made it over to Le Mans Classic last year. So this was quite a flash back for me. Same cars same spots. Neat.

Cheers Richard

Good look at the Steve McQueen camera 908. Love the theme music and the mod clothes.

a couple of trivial things I noticed, the hippie 917 and Elfords 917 weren't completely painted in the first part of the video. They finished painting at the track it would appear.
