Time deductions Edit

This article is R-r-r-rubbish!

Reason: color.

To meet the Top Gear Wiki's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by editing the article or discuss this issue on the article's talk page.

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
