It wouldn't get anywhere near 7:30, even the light blue one with all the modifications to the suspension and brakes wouldn't get near 7:30.
Suspension is too soft, brakes too weak and tyres too outdated to get anywhere near that.
7:40 is pushing it as well to be honest, but it's probably more realistic.
I'd love to see a real lap of the F1 LM around the Nordschleife though, as I suppose would everyone else.

Hmm you could put newer tires (which would easily make those 10sec difference, EVO Magazine did that on another track), suspension although too soft for other tracks may be quite suitable for Ring because it has many many bumps (Volvo S60R does faster laps in "sport" than "advanced" mode which makes suspension harder) and brakes would be fine for that one lap, even newest ceramic brakes wouldn't bring more than 3-4 seconds over the full lap because the Ring is such track...at Monza however the original F1 brakes would really s**k.

How can anyone compare a soulless car like the Veyron with a 24h LeMans winner? 
And yeah, its almost a shame that we didn`t get any old Mclaren F1 car
But the Mp4-12c is great! Better then nothing, I would guess.

I admire both, I would love to give a Veyron some go's, but i would want to own a McLaren F1.
More fun, naturally aspirated MPowered beast, in Racing Specs of course to get the noise, the switches (i want to switch on my fuel pumps myself)...
The veyron, to me is sophistication, spectacularly performing yet un-dramatic clockwork.
To me the F1 is THE McLaren.

No, THE Mclaren is the Mp4/4.
But honestly, I don`t get the meaning of all this Mclaren F1/Veyron comparisions. The Mclaren F1 is almost 20 years old.
It is a 24h LeMans winner.
Veyron is a modern hypercar. No one can deny that the Veyron is a masterpiece of engineering. But for me its just a coffee racer, just like a SLS AMG or all those Porsches.
No F40. No F1.

That bare carbon fiber bodywork is looking great!
What's with all this talk about the WV Veyron (yes VW). Ferrari vs. Mclaren is where it's at.

I saved up and bought a Mclaren F1 fresh off the show room floor in orange 
Man it's hard to drive on the stock sports hard tyres!
I've always wondered why it was so slow on the Best Motoring Tsukuba time attack, now I know why. It's hard to drive on the limit with these tyres, should be better with stickier rubber
In my first try, once I was able to stay on the track, I got around the same time 1'05+ vs 1'04.62. You have to be really ginger on the throttle much like in the video. It doesn't roll as much as the real thing though, and some camber would help plus getting rid of the default rear toe.
My stock GT-R Spec V whips it
Also has the best interior view of the road out of all the cars so far in GT5. Right in the middle
Really good visibility
But you can make it look like the LM version with the add ons in the GT Auto, but gees that costs 130k credits!
Vids to come

I made an Mclaren F1 video. Some Tsukuba, some Nurburgring rain.
Stock Mclaren F1 with it's hard sports tyres. Pretty hard to control without any aids and a wheel! You need to be careful with the throttle.
The LM imitation addons, wing, skirts and front splitter add extra downforce which helps, along with using sports medium tyres. Big difference in grip

Thanks for the vid CJ! Looks like a fun car to drive for sure, still saving for mine... with a few distractions not helping (Yellowbird, CarbonR). I was hoping the front bar would change as well as adding the splitter, I much prefer the look of the LM front in particular. Oh well, still looks pretty nice. I'm going for the McLaren orange for the imitation LM look too.
