Star in a Reasonably-Priced car

Star in a Reasonably-Priced car is a segment of Top Gear, where Jeremy Clarkson interviews a celebrity and then shows a clip of their driving on the Top Gear track, filmed earlier. They are then put on to a board. There have been three reasonably-priced-cars: a Suzuki Liana, Chevrolet Lacetti and a Kia Cee'd.

Time deductions Edit


Sometimes an additional term is written next to the time (such as Hot). This indicates that the Stig and the Top Gear team consider that the prevalent weather conditions have affected the lap time or car's performance. The time on the board is not adapted: e.g. 1:50 MM (Mildly Moist) is deemed to be equivalent to 1:48 on a normal dry track. The following list describes how many seconds it costs a car or gives a car an advantage.

Term

Conditions

Adjustment

HOT

Track surface or car performance affected by high temperature / humidity

-2 seconds

Mildly moist (MM)

Track surface slightly damp after light rain or drizzle

-2 seconds

Wet (W) / Melted snow (MS)

Track surface wet due to light rain / melted snow

-4 seconds

Very wet (VW)

Track surface wet (with large puddles) due to heavy rain

-6 seconds

ReferencesEdit

  1. Top Gear Series 2, Episode 8 2003.07.06 - Original time of 1:48 was prior to recording fractional seconds. Jeremy Clarkson to Jodie Kidd: "We don't have points on this, but actually you were point three of a second faster than Jay Kay."
  2. Top Gear Series 5, Episode 9 2004.12.26 - Jeremy ACTUALLY wrote 1:46.1, but placed her in the right place. (look for it at the 25 minute mark.)
