In 2003 I was at Laguna Seca Raceway for the Monterey Historic Races and one of these monsters was there. It was used as the pace car for the all Bugatti (as in very old like 1920's-30's) race. Well the driver took off before the race by himself at one hellva rate of speed. We were in the stands at the start/finish point so saw him go. Well he floored it out of the pits onto the track and then we heard a loud squeal of tires and saw a large plume of dust go up in the air at turn 1 (could not see the turn from our seats) and knew immediately what he did. He lost it into the very first turn. Nothing said over the PA system but a few minutes later he was back on the track and when he again went by us that car was excellerating like a dragster with the sweetest exhaust sound you have every heard. Later we heard that he went into the turn with way too much steam but he saved the car, did not hit anything. Needless to say the Bugatti VIP's were a bit po'd at him. That prototype had 1000 hp. It was a sight to behold. One of those track experiences you had to be there to get the full effect. When we saw the dust (looked like a bomb had gone off) the only thing we said was "Holy s___, he wrecked the million dollar prototype". He must of had brown pants when he came into the pits!
