You mean the fact that it turned up to a supercar shootout at Rockingham last year and after a handful of laps it broke down?

And they had to fly a guy over from the factory to try and fix it?

They're not worth the money.

(Obviously the ferrari, the aston vanquish was a major let down.)

The veyron is 4 wheel drive. Gt race cars are rear wheel drive. The veyron would have to be limited to a more sensible amount of power for 2 wheel drive, at which point its massive weight disadvantage (it's a porky lil' bugger) will become a hindrance, and it will be tranced as well as being insanely expensive (to buy and then modify). As has been mentioned, it will never be raced.

Can i write into them or the newspapers and sell my story of:

"I SAW HIM STACK IT ON A ROUNADBOUT AT 20MPH!" Laughing ?

Or shall i just be civil and point at the screen saying "I know him!" Smile
