I'll be there on Saturday too! I'll be one of the marshalls noting the speeds at the end of the runway - So I'll be getting a pretty good view of it at speed, although a closer look would be epic! wink
I'm going too. Hope to see you there, Phil.

Had a great day today at VMAX. Left the USB stick with videos at work but will upload them in Monday.

Highlight of the day was two standing start runs against a Veyron, LaFerrari pulling away both times and a higher trap speed. What an epic car :-))

Christ! Just saw the video! Puts it all into perspective... That's a Veyron, old tech now but also now slow... What a machine the LaFerrari is

It looks quicker than a supersport too , sure the veyron reigns it in above 190mph but nobody really cares about anything above that unless they're playing top trumps. Does the constant attention the car gets ever wear off?

It may look quicker, but I'd bet that it isn't.

why was the veyron running the rear wing up for downforce rather than down for speed ?

Although he turned the highspeed setting on, as soon as he hit the corner it reverts back to downforce..

They did a standing start on the main drag to stop it, La Ferrari still won
