Interview with Bugatti's test driver that broke the production car speed record. I didn't expect much, but found it a rather insightful piece. In the end, it all boils down to attempting a speed record being an ass puckering experience 😀 Pick your metaphor: couldn't drive in a knitting needle with a sledgehammer; shove in a lump of coal, crap out a diamond; etc
