Ever wonder what the Bugatti Chiron could top out at if it wasn’t speed limited to 261 mph? Turns out, it’s just north of 300 miles per hour, making Bugatti the first manufacturer to break the 300-mile-an-hour barrier!

Bugatti recently took a “near production prototype” Chiron to the vast Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, where factory test driver Andy Wallace reached a top speed of 304.773 mph, with the time certified by the German TÜV organization.

The Chiron used was modified with an additional safety cell, aerodynamic changes and higher seventh-gear ratios. It also used a slightly more powerful version of the regular Chiron’s quad-turbocharged W-16 engine, turned up to produce 1600HP. In addition, specially constructed Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires were mounted on the car.

Amazingly, if it hadn’t been for running out of road on the test-track, the Chiron could even have gone slightly quicker, as the speed hadn’t leveled out yet, it was still climbing.

Congrats to Bugatti for earning a place in history as the first to exceed 300 miles per hour!

He’s called “Money” for a reason.

Boxing promoter and former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather dropped $18 million on a Miami Beach mansion last week, The Real Deal reported.

WWE is looking towards the future with its biggest event of the year, WrestleMania 39, on April 1 and 2, 2023, in Los Angeles, CA, with the tagline, ‘WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.’

Without a single match announced, WWE has sold nearly 100,000 tickets for the show. SoFi Stadium has a maximum capacity of over 100,000 seats, but the stage set and other production areas will take up some of those seats. 

The venue is currently configured for 51,146 fans for each night of Mania. According to WrestleTix, which tracks ticket data, the show is nearly sold out. 

WWE is looking to load up WrestleMania 39. They want to bring in celebrities and several top names. Steve Austin is reportedly open to listening to offers for WrestleMania 39 following his successful return at WrestleMania 38. WWE is still hoping to have The Rock come in for a match with Roman Reigns.

Charlotte Flair won the Women’s title on WWE Friday Night SmackDown.

After Ronda Rousey defeated Raquel Rodriguez to retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship, Charlotte walked out to the ring with new music and a new look. 

Charlotte then challenged Rousey for the title and Rousey accepted, despite the objections from Shayna Baszler. Rousey took a boot to the face and then Rousey kicked out of the pin attempt.

Flair then hit the spear and she pinned Rousey to win the title. Then she went into the crowd to celebrate her 14th title win in WWE.

Pete Rose is famous for a few things, but there’s one thing that has made him infamous. Pete has a lifetime ban from baseball for gambling on games he was managing in.

Now Pete has launched a new gambling podcast.

“I know how it looks, and people will criticize,” Rose said, via USA Today. “But it’s not gambling. It’s handicapping. I’m a handicapper.”

Pete Rose, of course, received a lifetime ban back in 1989 after an investigation determined that he bet on games, including with the Cincinnati Reds while he was the manager.

Rose’s podcast, “Pete Rose’s Daily Picks” will drop new episodes six days a week.

I guess Pete Rose has finally realized he’s never getting into the Hall of Fame, so why not try to get a piece of the gambling pie.
