VW Group Apparently Has A Secret Test Track In The Northern Cape Of South Africa
When the bunch of Bugatti‘s arrived at OR Tambo last week, it got us thinking about where these brutes are tested in South Africa.
A quick Google search and an article on DriveTribe written last year seem to give us a fairly clear answer where the Volkswagen Group conducts its hot weather and high-speed testing in SA.
The track has two, 4.5 km (2.8 mile) straights and two seemingly flat (non-banked) corners (see above). This is a pretty perfect place to test the cars to their absolute limits with searing-hot temperatures and a lot of dust.
There are some smaller tracks all around it with corrugated surfaces and to the South of the track, there is a smaller track with two 311 meter straights, corrugated surfaces and banked corners.

According to rumours, this is where the Bugatti Veyron was spotted way back before they even went on sale.
