This is the funniest car racing news I ever read. According to the thesun news, there was a highway race between a Bugatti Veyron and a Ferrari 599. This incident happened in England, on the M27 motorway. The Bugatti Veyron was leading in the race for the ten minutes before he got pulled over by a BMW police car.

So what exactly happened was the police officer was just sitting in his BMW car with his radar gun, he wasn’t really paying much attention to anything, when suddenly a black thing zooms past him and quickly followed by another black car. Being a policeman, he gave the chase and reaches 140 mph before catching the Bugatti and pulling him over. The Ferrari got away and there’s no plate number was captured and it was impossible to track.

The poor Bugatti owner got three penalty points and a £60 fine, which is about $120 in USD.
