Not manipulated....but not equal. LOL, who cares though its just a bit of fun...but it would only take a new clutch, new set of tyres, a wheel alignment for gods sake...how many times does the car go bush in a big way....and the times would be markedly different from the serivicing. Secret would be to get lucky with your seat time and some servicing

Everything else on Top Gear is scripted/manipulated/false anyway, why should this aspect of the show be any different?
I think the whole peogram just exists to further inflate Jeremy Clarksons already bloated ego anyway! (Oh, and in case you've not already worked this out, I'm not a fan!) |

As for the Top Gear lap times, just a set of new or different tires changes everything. I think it's also a matter of how much the respective drivers have been trying. In the Vettel Top Gear lap he seems to be in at least 2 different cars, whatever that means. Illegal t-car? |

So its all a bit hand to mouth and cheaply produced....Like a kid from the slums dressing up in an emperors clothes and hiring a chauffer to look rich and important...

In the words of John McEnroe:
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! Really, the F1 Forum has descended to discussion of how Top Gear film their Star In A Reasonably Priced Car section? Pardon me, but: FFS. Get a grip, people. It means *nothing*. It means less - far less - than sandbagging times in the first hour of testing at the start of a season (unless they're the 2009 Brawn times, obviously). Give us all a break. It's great TV, but driver-ability-splitting it is most definitely not. |

Moved to Armchair, because this has got absolutely **** ALL to do with F1.
(As Greem so eloquently pointed out.) |

By the way, apologies to anyone now confused about the first 60 pages or so, which was about F1. Mostly.

But surely, forum threads are like a journey?
Sometimes they remain totally focussed on the original route, and never stray away irrespective of what happens. Others evolve into a more interesting stroll, taking up new headings (in a direction type of way) as a result of what's being posted? Surely we're not in the position where certain sub forums are so elitist where you're only allowed to post if you're wearing a blazer and the appropriate club tie for example, this is a public forum when all said and done... |

I think you have to be old enough to have worn a tie at some point to post in the Historics Forum, but that's our only 'club' rule...
In fairness I should have split the last couple of pages, which resurrected an old 60 page F1 thread to talk about Top Gear laps. |
