Agree with cpufreak entirely, except the bit about "wettest summer in history". The midlands may have drowned but down here in Bournemouth it was actually lovely all year.
You need to move yourself and your R888's to the South Coast fella

I think they will only get the Veyron on track if they remove every car over £30k and wipe the memorys of everyone who ever saw the board pre-veyron. Its lack of track appearences makes me think its got something to hide.
cant help feeling you are right. although i can't understand why a veyron owner hasn't come forward yet to offer their car. probably because they don't want to damage their ££ investment. maybe flemke can shed some light.tinman0 said:

I think the caparo guys should run and hide. with every public outing being a total embarrassment. With fires, breaking suspension, wont go round corners, falling apart etc...
A little exaggeration there perhaps?It corners very well indeed - it was Clarkson who didn't have enough talent to drive it. Though leads to some interesting questions as well.

If you pick a track small enough a 1/10th scale electric rc car will be quicker than Hamilton's F1.
So why would you choose to take a large GT like a veyron on a cramped little track?
I wouldn't have said the TG track was cramped, its just appears short.So why would you choose to take a large GT like a veyron on a cramped little track?
I still don't get why people are slating Caparo for making the car, either. All they wanted to do was showcase the engineering. Whilst the (very public) failures might not have done much good demonstrating their engineering prowess, it certainly won't have harmed the sales figures as it was not about sales figures in the first place.

ISTR that the Veyron did a leisurely 7:40 round a much larger track.So why would you choose to take a large GT like a veyron on a cramped little track?

I think TG may be protecting the top place for if/when they get a Veyron
I'm not sure anyone really knows how the Veyron goes round corners. Maybe Bugatti do, hence they haven't supplied one......Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
