It's awesome.
New series starts in Sept. The Veyron will be featured again. My gut is that I think they were able to obtain one to drive around the track. Bugatti would not let them track the car so they offered thirty pounds ($60) to any owner who would lend them their car lol.
I think they found someone.
For those of you who can't get it on TV, every episode is on www.finalgear.com |
I loved the Veyron vs. plane episode, but I still think the best was the Ferrari 612 vs. plane episode, where it's so close Clarkson actually passes Hammond and May practically at the finish line in Verbier.
My prediction is if they do get a Veyron on the track it won't beat the Koenigsegg (which I think is the current lap holder), and maybe not even some of the other top contenders like the Zonda, Enzo and MC12. Or maybe I'll be eating my words in the fall.
