Not much "perspective" when you don't know the details of the yardstick used to measure it. How long was the run, what were the actual times, how far ahead was the Veyron at the finish, etc.?
If anything the distorted perspective is that the Veyron weights about 280Kg more than the GTR (15%), has more then 2X the horsepower, costs 15X more and with all that going for it, it only beat the GTR by about two seconds over what appears to be a mile long course. On the Top Gear track, the Veyron was only 1.4 seconds faster over the 1¾ miles course. On the Ring, the Veyron was 11 seconds slower than the GTR.
What does it all mean? Nothing.

Felipe Massa suffered a head injury after a metal spring fell off one of the Brawn GP cars, flew up and hit Massa in the helmet. The driver continued driving after being struck and went over a curb, through some gravel and hard into a tire-lined barrier.
180mph and a small suspension spring from the rear of another car hit his helmet. Very sad, Massa has a great spirit, not that you would want that to happen to any one, but not Masas

His prognosis is good, but i doubt he will race again at the F1 level, so sad
Whats worse is there has been talk of bringing Schumacher back NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I have never dealt with more unprofessional people before, during, and after the sale of a vehicle. The salesman, managers, parts dept, and service advisers especially are the biggest bunch of POS I have ever dealt with. I have yet to talk with one person who has been happy with dealing with them.
