For most of the lap the car had a reg that ended in HFN, but one clip showed it having WLC.

The races aren't always rigged to give a close finish. When the car was the Mclaren Merc SLR Clarkson got to wherever the destination was, and
was back home in the UK before Hamster and Slow got to the finish point.
I thought the plane was not the right one for comparison with the Bugatti, but it was good entertainment - and who on here wouldn't have taken
JC's place given a chance.
Presumably Stig wasn't allowed to drive the car. According to Gordon Murray Mclaren F1 designer) the Bugatti is great on the road, but not as
good to drive on a track as he hoped - hampered by its weight. I bet it would still be very quick though.
Well done Nige!!

Nice car but a bit ugly and pointless IMHO. give me a £50,000 Ultima anyday
I know I am heavily biased..........but spot on!!!!!
Would be interesting to compare the two around the top gear track methinks!!!
Clarkson has recently been singing the Ultima's praises, quite a revelation given his previous animosity to the company due to the whole Noble
thing..........
I know Ultima have been putting the car forward for test on the track for over a year now and the programme have not been interested, but I think that
might bew changing shortly.
If it's not the quickest road legal car around the track I will be very surprised.
The Ultima GTR demo car has just beaten Kenneth Hansen's works citroen rallycross supercar 0 - 100 - 0, bearing in mind that is 4wd and not road
legal, and has won the european rallycross championships...........and the Ultima has the track handling to match...........
steady state cornering record - clicky
