Steve

I only have the small 4 pots on to allow use of the 15" drag tyres. I have a set of AP 6 pots for circuit use. As its half the weight of a Veyron I think the corners would be the easy bit !

The Veyron is the same weight as a bus!! And has similar handling!

As for the times for the Scoobs at Donny - they may be nearly as quick but they have well over twice the bhp of a touring car

lol do you know what your saying there. The veyron weighs a little more than a SLR, yet is more capable. Does the SLR handle like a bus though?

The veyron outhandles most cars on the road to say that it doesnt do handle, or is just a average handler is foolish.

Also I wonder what sort of figures the veyron would pull when it was put on some drag slicks

Love the Top Gear/Veyron idea. I'm sure TG would go for it

But who is going to lend them a £1m Veyron to see it get thrashed by an old DIY Scoob? Not me, for one

Richard.

I reckon Barbara should defo give TG and JC and call. You don't have to let them drive...just get them to give you the white suit and helmet of Stiggy!

Let JC drive the Veyron and show him a clean pair of heels!

If Simon Norris can get on C4 in his Evo, you deserve to surpass that by going on TG!

Lets start a petition.

Don't get me wrong guys i love my scooby but would rather have anyone of these car's... and the money to be able to buy one then my subaru any day!

And well less than half of the Touring cars budget, built by enthusiasts in there spare time with little or no sponsorship. I know most of the pro cars are from tuners but that is what Time Attack is all about. Doing a full shift at work, working on customers cars and then burning the midnight oil prepping there own, don't the touring car teams have mechanics to do this?
I think the time set this weekend where unreal, and RCM's car is definitely in the wrong event, after seeing Olly hold the car sideways around the corner before the pit straight at serious speed was amazing to see. His first time in the event
