Bugatti to test Chiron and Chiron Sport at Circuit Paul Richard

Bugatti will test its Chiron and Chiron Sport at Circuit Paul Richard, with former Formula One and Le Mans Driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel.

Together with Bugatti enthusiasts and former Le Mans winner Andy Wallace, he shows how the Chiron and Chiron Sport pushes the boundaries of physics on the race track. "Where better to test a hyper sports car extensively and safely than on a racetrack? Even novices quickly feel at home here," says Pierre-Henri Raphanel.

Pierre-Henri Raphanel knows Bugatti models well. In 2010 he set a world speed record for road vehicles with 431.072km/h in a Bugatti Veyron. He will not break the track record on the Circuit Paul Ricard though. "That's not the point. Even though we go very fast on the straight bits, accelerating round corners is much more interesting. With the Chiron models it's easy to wave around the curves," he adds.
