LaFerrari Tears Around The TopGear Track

I wonder if anyone thought to bring a stopwatch to time it?

Chances are he will lend it to top gear...

 

Absolutely amazing. The LaFerrari is a masterpiece.

 

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Stupid question. Does the Enzo have air brake?

 

Great guy.

 

Chris Evans, tv and radio celeb over here!
Raises hundreds of thousands of pounds every year for a childrens charity in the UK by auctioning off 4 day drives in cars from his own collection! Calls them the Magnificent Seven!!

 

He's currently letting 7 lucky drivers, and there passengers, drive around areas of England in the following:

1961 Ferrari TR61
1961 Ferrari 2350SWB California Spyder
1963 Ferrari 250GT SWB
1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Spyder
1973 Ferrari 365 GTB4 Daytona Berlinetta
2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
and a 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale!!

 

I may be wrong, but that is not the Top Gear track. Just Top Gear magazine showing it doing some laps somewhere. Doesn't look like the Airfield they use to me!

 

From what I've seen of him on Top Gear I really like the guy. Very humble. But I always wondered, does he make all his money on just radio and TV? His collection isn't exactly cheap.

Good for him though!

 

He made a lot of money years ago when he bought and subsequently sold Virgin Radio!
Gets paid a small fortune by the BBC for his morning radio show and evening TV shows! Also seems to make money buying and selling cars from his collection! He once went to an auction at Maranello to buy a poster and ended up spending £5.6 million on an ex James Coburn 250 California Spyder, then sold that to purchase a 250 GTO at £12 million!!

 

You are wrong! - That's Dunsfold Aerodrome (home of the Top Gear track).

This was the event: The Supercar Event - The Children's Trust

Chris Evans gave 5 rides to 5 different people who paid for the privilege. He raised £5,000 for the charity through his generosity!

There was no point in anyone timing any of the runs as they were not using the full layout that Top Gear use and Chris Evans was only doing fun runs.

However, he's such a car nut that I have little doubt that we'll be seeing The Stig driving this car at some time for a timed lap.

(Now, considering the amount of complaints being made about Lewis Hamilton getting a LaFerrari in the F1 section due to him not meeting the criteria to apply for one, as laid out by Ferrari, and so: "Taking a car from someone who actually meets the criteria", are we going to get similar complaints about Chris Evans? - After all, he did not buy an F40, F50 or Enzo from new either! He owns some fabulous Ferrari's, but he doesn't technically meet the criteria. [Personally I have no issue with either of them owning a LaFerrari but it seems to be a real bugbear to some on FChat!] ).

 

I was one that complained about His Hamiltonness getting a LaF (allegedly) and him not meeting the criteria.

Chris Evans might not have bought some of his F cars from new, but i'm sure he services them with a Ferrari dealer and all that. On top of that, he has bought plenty of Ferrari's new, starting with at least a Ferrari 550 and onwards.
