Breaking news: Guinness withdraws world speed record from Bugatti Veyron
#31
I am certainly not a spokesperson for Guinness. But the point I was making was that the speed tests need to be done on a controlled road or test track, runway, etc. More specifically, Guinness told me that we could not attempt such a speed run on the Autobahn or other road that would put the public at risk. Temporarily closed if it was a county or state road / highway. The Guinness rep did also tell me that they wanted to allow the rules to be fair and broad enough such that others can attempt to break existing records. My overall experience in dealing with Guinness was very good. They really went out of their way to explain their process and I learned a lot from them. Are they perfect? No. And they do need to get some more specific help when it comes to the technicalities of setting speed records. Hopefully they can keep it simple and make use of modern technology like VBox GPS instead of timing lights.

Damn....no more speedrecord ? I better start looking for my receipt and hope I have warranty left. Wouldn't want to be stuck with a car, that can't do 430+ km/h.

I feel like this question should be reasonable enough for an answer.
John, out of curiosity (no disrespect intended), why are the Venoms being registered as Lotus' and can you enlighten us at all as to what needs to be done to change that?

Guys, I've enjoyed spending time discussing some details with you. But I have given you more information than I have shared with any other major media outlet. And if I keep giving you details, you will keep asking for more. So I am going to respectfully stop here. Thank you for your continued interest in our car. I have learned much in my interaction with guys like Matt.
We are just getting going on the Venom GT program. And in due time, many of your other questions will be answered by the auto media.

SSC is claiming the record is theirs again: SSC North America- Home of the Tuatara & Ultimate Aero
No statement from Guniess yet? I'd like to know if the 50 car rule is legit. Wouldn't it be funny to see the F1 back on top?
