– Standing km : 18,2 sec (Veyron 18,0 sec)
– Dry circuit : 1min06sec8 (Veyron 1min08sec5), with some wet patches, so best could be better according to Autocar.
– Wet circuit : 1min20sec5 (Veyron 1min11sec6)

Regarding the lap time: “The Veyron lapped the track in 1min 8.5sec while Ferrari’s F12 managed it in 1min 8.6sec. The P1 might have lapped even faster but for two damp patches; one in a high-speed bend, the other in a heavy braking zone.”
