    What a great car to drive on track.
    The greatest for me.
    Rich feed back and instant response.
    One will never know until one drives it on the limit.

    Now thats tracking in style! Acceleration looks crazy on the straights

    Can you provide some more feedback regarding tracking this car and experiences?

    English is not my main language so forgive me if I fail to convey what I fully appreciated.

    When we corner the car, we first brake, steer and then wait or maneuver or do what is necessary then accelerate out of corner.
    During this period, something is always happening underneath the car or tire.

    As for sports car standard, we rank higher if one can feel what is going on through the body or steering more.
    This part, Chiron is on the top list.

    Another part that I personally appreciate most is the richness of the feedback between input and reaction from the pedal and steering.
    I would say if I push the pedal in BMW M2, it is more like on off, no disrespect for M2.(I would say 'events are divided by 2', sorry english is hard part)
    In 812, there is more in it, but the limitation is still there.(divided by 10 maybe...)
    In Chiron, you can manipulate any degree and car responds accordingly, not skipping any or jumping like mad horse, and also instantly.(by 100 in comparison)
    This I call richness of feedback. And this is not just about pedal input or steering input. It is sum of what the car is made of.

    Years of hard work, and immense resources and materials put into Chiron and one can feel it the moment car moves and one can appreciate when on limit more so. Weight figure might make one wonder it would be like pig on the track. It can not be more wrong. It is not Lotus like nimble. But the experience as a whole package, the pedal, steering, mid corner grip, entry neutral, total balance, and what else is just way ahead.

    Oh, the sound...One has to hear it inside when Chiron excellerates. W16 and the drama and sound it gives make even just going straight special.

    It is 'the' swan song for ICE age.

    Wish I can tell you more...

    Full credit to you for tracking such an incredible car. I never understand people who purchase supercars or hypercars and then never take them anywhere near a track (or even an autobahn) to see what they can really do. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, and… cute gloves. LOL

    Thanks for sharing! The capability of the Chiron is immense. The sensation of speed as you enter the first long straight is frankly, insane.

    I loved the EB110, still do, but when the Veyron came out I didn't like it. ''not hardcore enough'' I always thought. Only a few years ago from one day to the next I suddenly decided I actually do like the Veyron, quite a lot in fact! The Chiron is just another level. The front end on it is simply beautiful.

    Looks like the 110 edition from the badge inside.

    Any chance of some pics @j09333 ? Perhaps of your garage which must be seriously impressive...!

    Never seen a TDF in black! Looks great.

    What track was that? Looks like Suzuka in some spots but it is not.

    Wow. Would love to see the rest together if that's possible. TDF looks great with the silver wheels on black. Chiron mega impressive.

    Long winter and haven’t touched the car since last year.
    Today I woke it up and stretch its legs for a while.

    It is superb car at speed as well as at even such low speed.
    I gently drove under 100km/h on track near from where it is secretly parked and it is just very special and different to any other cars I have driven in a good way.

    Words can not do justice how it makes one special and reminds why we all drivers loves cars to death in just one casual drive alone.

    Utmost joy in itself. I admire even more so every time whenever I get to drive. Bugatti chiron is one of the ultimate form of driving god.

    Wanted to. But at the time I was short on money. Super sport is the only design I prefer over other cars including Centodiechi.
    My dream bugatti is veyron SS.

    Yes quite a bit compared to other sport cars out there. I guess intentional delay to protect transmission.

    Power is always there to shoot one forward so I am fine with slow shift. However, I would rather like to have shorter gear ratio.
