Why no Veyron on Top Gear yet?
 

What I mean is doing a lap when driven by the stig.

Or has there been and i missed it.

Bugatti won't loan them one.

What a bunch of poofs.

Surely they would like to see their name on the top of the fastest lap list.

Perhaps it could be that they either think its a foregone conclusion that they would be at the top or they wouldn't be best pleased if for some obscure reason something already on the list just might happened to have been faster than what the veyron could pull off.

Just some thoughts

the later I suspect ;)

the same suspicions here my friend

the veyron has been on top gear but not round the track,captain slow tried to reach the top speed only.

er, and clarkson drove it to london from italy and hammond raced a typhoon

As I said in the first post, i meant around the track. Not the top speed run in Germany by May, or the race from Italy with Plane by Clarkson. Nor the 'there and back again' drag race with the jet fighter with hammond at the wheel.

The track -the stig:thumb:

hope you noticed that all the test have been about flat out speed, not cornering.

thats the key, round a track its crap, it weighs 2 tonnes :o

i should think it would do very poorly round the TG test track due to it being not very high speed

Agreed, the straight is too short, it can't take advantage of the power that it has over smaller, less powerful cars. I reckon it wouldn't do them any favours to run it.

5t.

sure theres a vid of it having its arse handed to it by an elise somewhere, strights it hands the elise its arse, but come to a corner anf the elise fecks off into the distance

Said video of elise and veyron

Banny

that was quick, lol

from what i hear the veyron is suppose to handle like a dream round a track even better then your enzos and other track based cars f430 scuderia etc,this not coming from personel experience however as i dont quite have the funds :lol1:

Bugatti driver doesn't know racing lines...

Parked up for cuppa as far as i could see...!

It's quite close to the top for times at Nordschleife, 7 something.. as I remember.

iirc Bugati Veyron 7min:50secs round Nurburing and the Nissan GTR 7min:48secs.

what did the leafspring z06 do round the nurburgring?

Definitely, i reckon it would be surprisingly slow (within reason obviously!) around the track, not nimble enough to utilise its power on such a small course maybe? In comparison with the more 100% race and track focused cars.
