SO right now the Zonda F has the fastest lap on the track at
1 18.4 just wondering of all the new cars coming up. what do you think has a chance at beating it?

honestly, dont know of much that could take it. they said the koenigsig with a spoiler might be able to but im alittle skeptical

I really want to see what a Veyron can do, but Bugatti won't give them the go-ahead to run it around the track. The Koeneggsigg will give it a run for its money, but other than that, I don't think we'll see something overpower the Zonda.

The Veyron is not really setup for this type of track. Did it ever run on the Nurburgring?

I'm trying to find the test times for this track.

Here is a listing of all the current power laps. I think although the Veyron isn't made for racing, I'm sure it would post a pretty reasonable time, especially with the Stig behind the wheel.

I'd like to see the Koeneggsiggeggessegg come back with a proper wing bloted to the back. I think it's the only thing that could take the Zonda.

Do we know if the Bugatti can actually corner? I thought it was more suited for ovals and the Autobhan.

They should try an Indy cart just for fun.

i'd like to see them have some tuners put together cars to see if they can beat the time. some nice porsche, bmw, etc... tuners. put them to a real test

they should have taken the Koenigsegg to their local pepboys and bought one of their top notch spoilers.

Anyway, I dont thing the Koenigsegg will beat the Zonda F. Have they tested the new Saleen S7? I think will give more of a challenge than the Koenigsegg

Just cruising through their site, I found this regarding tickets to a recording of Top Gear, haha:

Also, most seriously, you'll have to listen to the director and the floor manager making a series of very low quality jokes. We apologise for this. We've tried to stop them, but they just do it anyway.
