Plus: Arnold Palmer’s US Open charge at Cherry Hills, triple jump joy, Moeen magic and more speed thrills
1) Claude Lelouch’s 1976 single-take short C’etait un rendez-vous is a speed-freak favourite, chronicling a pigeon-scattering, traffic-light ignoring dawn drive through Paris. Lelouch has returned behind the camera for a new version, with less mystique, F1 driver Charles Leclerc at the wheel, Ferrari, face coverings, elbow bumps and even Albert II, Prince of Monaco, on board. Stick with the classic, we reckon. Here’s Alex Roy’s detailed tour of the original route.
2) An eye-popping 25 [TWENTY-FIVE – Classic YouTube vidiprinter] years ago this day, the world witnessed Jonah Lomu v Mike Catt (W/O), live from Cape Town. To his immense credit, Catt himself speaks philosophically on the incident: “I’m thinking: yeah, there’s gonna be a bit of a train smash here …” But Lomu was of course much more than that one try: put your feet up for the next six minutes and enjoy the brilliant All Black’s World Cup try treasure trove in full.
