Really good programme but the record set by Dale Lomas was in a 220hp diesel with modified suspension so no wonder he blitzed it ! https://www.camperking.co.uk/2013/06/tuners-break-top-gear-ring-record/
His Co driver knew the track, which definitely helped. The dude in the jag was flying. Some spot that, a bucket list visit.
Also Lomas didn't have the track to himself. There was plenty more time to be had out of that record in it - crazy thing - brilliant!
Don't you just love the man and in his bloody work boots for a hot lap or twogreat light entertainment for couch potatoes.
