You did notice the second race where as speed built up the Veyron definitely held the upper hand and will probably have pulled well clear if the driver hadn't have backed out of the throttle, in both races it takes balls to keep the hammer down in such conditions and even more so when driving something that cost as much as the Veyron.
Also you must remember that the Veyron is a very civilised motor in which your wife, mother or ever grannymother could drive to the shops without any trouble, plus it's very refined and quiet, all things that could be said about this particular GTR or any GTR capable of matching it's speed.
It's still the daddy and this other video shows
though only just.
