Bloody hell, a Lotus Esprit beaten by a Focus! Was the Lotus driving backwards, or, dare I say it, is the Focus actually quite good?

Surprised at the difference between the Focus RS and the CTR as well!

I got the impression it shouldve done, but they did a really scrappy lap in it so it came in just under the Enzo.

I'm sure they used to have caterham/westfield/radical up there which were firmly faster than the rest (1:17/1:19) IIRC. but they then 'made up' a rule that any car tested have to be able to drive over a speed bump

There's also some missing cars. The Boxter/S2000/Z4 are not up there although they were all on a very wet track but they've included others that drove in the wet.
