In 2007, there was a Bugatti Veyron @ the 6h. of Francorchamps. In 2008, another one!
This year, no Veyron, but a black-on-black Mclaren F1 with a very special plate!The F1 was designed by Gordon Murray and McLaren Automotive, and was in 1998 the fastest production car with a topspeed of 391km/h. Today, this is still the fastest naturally aspirated production car. This was also the first production car to use a carbon fibre monocoque chassis.
The F1 is a 3-seater: the driver sits in the middle, two small seats are placed right and left of the driver. If you want to talk to each other, it's best to use the headset, 'cause this car makes a lot of noise...
(This car uses gold foil as a heat shield! Maybe that's why the F1 is so expensive...)
