Top Gear Fastest Track Times

I fequently watch the BBC TV show Top Gear. It's greatly entertaining; humorous, informative and they have a test track with a professional driver "the Stig" and they test a lot of cars around this track. Their guests also all get to try a lap in the Top Gear car (which is just some typical small sedan). Anyway it is a great show if you haven't watched but after years of watching it made me wonder...what are the fastest lap times on that track...a google later and I ran across this page. Now to the reason I would post this in the Camaro vs. section....well the Camaro SS ran the course with professional driver "the Stig" in 1:27.90. You can look through the top cars and see how it stacks up against others. I like to change the filters on the page to front engine and rear drive cars to eliminate some of the mid and rear engine exotic cars. What is interesting to me is the show is from the UK and I would think might be less likely to be biased like some car rags here in the US and it is the same driver (the Stig) for all cars.

I find it funny how it's faster than the GT500, but not the 370z.
Weather I suspect can have a drastic effect.
