love the video of the stig doing a lap, think that around a 1:29, maybe?

Is this headed for the box then or just a website thingy?

Timing that with a stopwatch it comes out around 1:28 (can't see the line being crossed, though). That makes it as quick as the R26.R and faster than the Focus RS.

A Clio 200 faster than the Focus RS? I wont believe that until I see it.

I just timed it from start to finish line. If they edited bits out it's not my fault!

Has anyone got the latest TopGear mag?
I have it has the 200 up against 10 other cars incl lambo murcielago SV and focus RS. It says the stig done a lap in all cars for just 1 lap so he did'nt have chance to get use to it to see how user friendly the cars are. e.g. when the stig was aloud more than 1 lap in the lambo he got a 1:19.8, when he was aloud just 1 lap he got 1:21.0
The times were:
clio 200:1:34.0
Focus RS:1:30.8
370Z1:29.9
With the lambo quickest with a:121.0
Clio 200 got a very good review anyway 8-)
