Cool Just seen a Veyron, Koeniggsegg and Zonda!

Travelling from Nottingham on the A453 this afternoon I spotted a Veyron followed by a Koeniggsegg followed by a Zonda coming the other way!
Was too busy being gobbsmacked to try and see who was driving but am now wondering whether it was the Top Gear team or a magazine such as Evo.
Keep your eyes out folks!

I've still got goosebumps!

I suspect there might have been a track day at Donington Park. After all, it'd be pointles having a supercar and getting stuck at 50mph behind some HGV everytime you drive down the 453. And it always happens!

this question has obviously been asked before,but does anyone know who the STIG is..i dont think hes from formula 1 background,because i remember watching TG once when they had a formula one driver go round the track in the suzuki,and jezza said to the guy,(can't remember who it was).now the STIG doesn't use the same racing lines as you do..it''s totally different...

I never chase after cars but it would be fun to get those 3 cars to accelerate properly

I was in Monaco attending some conference and there was all manor of amazing cars. I walked around all the time going "wow, look at that .. ". Of course everyone thought I was somewhat odd as where there are nice cars and lots of money there are other (usually thin and blond) things to look at ...

I was disapointed I didn't see a Veyron though.

It is Ben Collins.

A guy in our club worked on the Diesel BMW racecar on that particular show and he confirmed this
