Who's missing from this photo with the Guinness Book of World Records staff taken after the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport set a new speed record for production cars with a 276.86-mph v-max run on VW's Ehra-Lessien proving ground in Germany?

And TG continues, "Well, let's just say… it would have been a bit strange for us not to have been part of this astonishing record run in some capacity. We're not saying any more, but keep a close eye on all things TopGear in the coming weeks…"
