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.

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

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

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
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.

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.
