How Wallace went from racing star to hypercar record-holder

How Wallace went from racing star to hypercar record-holder

Wallace, who was inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame this month, went on from his racing career to become Bugatti’s official test driver in 2011.

He has tested and help develop some of the world’s fastest and most advanced hypercars ever built for the road, fine-tuning modern-day Bugattis like the Chiron1, Divo2 and Centodieci3.

Wallace set a world speed record in the Chiron in 2019, becoming the first person to ever exceed 300mph in a hypercar at the Ehra-Lessien test track – reaching 304.773mph.

“When I stopped competitive racing, I feared I would miss the adrenaline,” said Wallace. “But as soon as I first drove the Veyron, I had this realization that the raw thrill of racing car performance was available at Bugatti.

“It’s a privilege to work alongside the finest engineers in the world at the cutting edge of performance car development, especially as we embark upon an all-new era for Bugatti.”
