Veyron tracked and failed

This Veyron didn't make it all the way thru the Audi S-corner @ Zandvoort (NL) despite its 4WD. Unfortunately I don't have story behind it with a cause, so the pics are all I've got







Don't think the owner will bother that much, his Grand Sport is on the way...

It goes amazing in the straight line but it wasn't fastest around the Top Gear track. I also wonder what it would do at Nurburgring circuit.

Yeah, a 4500lbs car with 1,000hp isn't going to be doing very well around a small technical track with zero real opportunities to really get opened up. It's still a technological marvel in every aspect possible and **** me if it isn't beautiful to look at.
