Who would be fastest around the Top Gear test track

[sal]

Any rally driver would take a bigger cut on the second to last corner so may make up some time there..

Well what did you expect? :

Well ... some more intelligent topics wouldn't be that hard to come up with.

After the "punching&fighting" one I guess the next thread will be about who will be able to go deeper in a scuba diving competition in a 20 inch deep bathtub.

[Rollo]

front wheel drive car without any power, I dont think I think sideways is possible.

Timo Mäkinen practically invented the Scandanavian Flick in none other than the Mini Cooper S.

I'm throwing in another vote of Seb Loeb. Arguably the best rally driver of the past twenty years (Tommi Mäkinen being the argument) he's pretty well proven on tarmac and FWD.

We ought to factor in that a roadgoing mini weighed 617 kg, was very low, and was pretty stiffly sprung even before rally preparation. Also the surface is a big factor, normally small slip angles are faster on tarmac even with plenty of power, unless it's a complete hairpin.

But I agree about Loeb, it would be great to see him do the lap. But he wouldn't fancy the interview. At least we'll get to see him at the RoC.

After you then buddy, I am sure you can fink of loads of topics to start a thread with.

If you don't like the threads, rather than moan ioan, stay away.......

I think you'll actually find Ioan isn't pronounced i-own so it's doesn't rhyme.

There is only one Stig and that is the real one and he could still do the job today

Just wondering though, if they created a Rally driver lap board, I guess they would have to drive the new car & not the Lacetti. Which makes comparisons a moot topic.
