Weird, the numbers on that page don't actually match what they said and wrote on the board. I have a few videos on my PC of top gear episodes, so I just quickly noted down the times they read out. They are as follows:-

911 Turbo 1:31.0
VX220 Turbo 1:31.3
M3 1:31.8
Focus RS 1:33.8
Type-R 1:38.6
WRX 1:39.0

Maybe the times on the website are by the new stig? The RS is certainly in it's element on the track. With a bit more power it would be giving the M3 something to think about.

Youre right they arent, I was just interested. The RS has stunning corner speed though, but he could just be a better driver than me
