The Top Gear track must really be a horsepower track. Great handling cars like the Porsches and even the little Lotus Elise don't seem to do as well while higher horsepower cars really seem to do well. I think all of the top ten are in the 600+hp range. Even though its down on the list I am amazed at how well the Golf R32 did!

Boy, I wish they would do a price to time ratio. They are really showing the Marginal Utility point

If they did it would be VERY difficult to beat that little Caterham R500. Having watched many of these make their laps, I must say the Catherham was quiet a handfull and required all of the Stig's prowess but boy did it shine and compaired to other cars did so at bargin price.

Of course if you REALLY want a Fast lap on the Top Gear Track you will have to go outside the show.

Take a look.

It's really two very open loops tied together. This would be really fast in a lot of cars... except a faded red 944.

Hey Don Auten, you listenin''?

The little "w" has been omitted from the times. Many times they will run on a wet "w" track. On the show if is wet or damp they will add the "w" to the time so you know it was run on a wet track. So I'm not sure how valid any of the times are.
