Top Gear Star in a reasonably priced car: 13 laps you would be crazy to miss

The legendary Top Gear track has played host to more than its fair share of celebrities over the years. The cars may be boring but the laps are anything but.

 

The good

 

Hugh Jackman

Jackman was definitely feeling competitive when he took to the track determined to make The Stig proud. Here he is in the ever reasonable Vauxhall Astra.

 

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz on the Top Gear track, just take a minute to take that in because no you’re not dreaming. She tackled the Korean gearbox of the Kia Cee'd and turned the air blue in style.

 

Rowan Atkinson

Okey dokey here we go, Mr Bean himself takes to the track in the Kia and it’s worth it for the comedy facial expressions alone

 

The bad

 

Michael Gambon

The Christening of Gambon corner took place when the man himself spun the original Suzuki Liana off the track in dramatic fashion.

 

Terry Wogan

Priceless commentary from Sir Terry the speed king, "Slow and steady wins the race." Not on the Top Gear track Wogan.

 

Jonathon Ross

The first man in a suit to drive the reasonably priced car. He couldn't shut up, he got lost, but he was still light years ahead of Wogan.

 

Johnny Vegas

Top Gear got the L plates out for a Dukes of Hazard inspired lap from Johnny Vegas who showed no fear on the track!

 

The crazy

 

 

Ian Wright

Wrighty’s first track day ever, he was fast and absolutely crazy behind the wheel. Camera men watch out.

 

Damian Lewis

Damian Lewis tackles the snow to get a lap time in. He tops the fastest in snow (in a leader board of one) but not much else.

 

The Champions

 

Dame Ellen Macarthur

Three go cart sessions under her belt and she comes out with the fastest lap in the Suzuki Liana.

 

Jay Kay

On a mission to beat Simon Cowell, Jay Kay comes out top in the Chevrolet Lacetti.

 

Matt LeBlanc

Matt LeBlanc stole the show with the fastest lap time in the Kia, and the fastest time EVER!

 

Lewis Hamilton

Finally back in the days of the Suzuki Liana it was Lewis Hamilton who put the rest of the drivers to shame. Put an F1 champion in a reasonably priced car and watch the disappointment at the paltry 56mph. 

 

Thanks go to Top Gear Wikia for providing the full leaderboards

Frequently Asked Questions

View all
What should I do if my order is delayed?

Most delays are temporary. Follow these steps:

  1. Check your tracking link in the Shipping Confirmation email.
  2. Wait 24–48 hours after the estimated date — carriers sometimes update late.
  3. If no update in 3 business days, contact us with your Order Number and Tracking Number.
  4. We’ll investigate and either reship free or issue a full refund if lost. Note: During sales or holidays, add 1–2 extra days.
Can I change my delivery address after placing the order?
Unfortunately, we are unable to amend delivery addresses once an order has been placed. For security purposes, items can only be dispatched to the billing address associated with the payment method. We kindly ask that you carefully review your shipping and billing details at the checkout screen before confirming your purchase
What will happen if I miss the courier?

The delivery driver will leave a card saying that he has made a delivery attempt, along with instructions on what to do next.

What should I do if my delivery is overdue?

We do ask you to allow up to three working days for courier deliveries. If your goods still have not appeared after that time or no one has contacted you by email or telephone, please email us at [email protected].

How do I track my order?

After placing an order online, you will receive a confirmation email. Following this your order will be set to processing and then delivered once it has been dispatched. After you receive the delivered notification via email, you will receive an email or text message from the courier with your tracking number. 

I have not received an invoice - what should I do?

Although we carry a large range of wheels and tyres in stock, we cannot have everything, so in some cases if a product is being sent directly from the manufacturer an invoice will not be included in the parcel. You should receive an invoice by mail a few days later. If you do not receive an invoice, please email [email protected] so we can arrange a copy.

What happens if my goods arrive damaged?

Very occasionally goods get damaged in transit. We always inspect the products before we pack them but after they leave our hands accidents do happen. Please sign the delivery docket with the driver 'damaged' if the outer packaging looks damaged in any way. We then ask you to inspect goods upon receipt and notify us of any damage within 24 working hours by calling us on 01274 877787 or sending us an email at [email protected]. 

If the goods have been damaged in transit and are faulty, we reserve the right to replace the product. We will of course arrange a collection for the damaged parts and arrange replacements as soon as possible. Please keep all packaging and do not try to fit the damaged parts.

I’ve received the wrong part - what should I do?

If something is not right about the goods that you have received, please email us at [email protected] or telephone us to let us know. All goods are sold to the manufacturer's Conditions of Sale and Guarantee. Goods specially ordered cannot be returned for credit. We reserve the right to make a handling charge on goods returned against orders correctly executed.

What are the advantages of alloy wheel upgrades?

Aftermarket alloys are typically lighter than their stock counterparts, reducing unsprung weight and improving the performance of your car. They’re also available in larger diameters and widths, allowing larger brakes and wider tyres to be installed for increased cornering performance and stopping power.

What is the lifespan of alloy wheels?

Alloy wheels have a far longer lifespan than steel wheels. When well cared for, they can last for decades - and they can be easily refurbished and restored to look as good as new.
