Wide open throttle in a Bugatti Veyron is the second most distressingly humiliating experience you can have that doesn’t involve medical staff. The first is not being able to find the launch control button when you’re just about to drag race an R35 Nissan GT-R.\

This poor chap, filmed at Palm Beach International Raceway, USA, experienced both. In rapid succession.

Once he’d worked out how to drive it, he posted a 10.1-second run at 223kph and hammered the Nissan.
