Default TopGear Infographic

Disclaimer: I really apologize if this seems like I'm spamming since my company was the one that created this infographic. My intention is not to promote the company but more to promote the data/infographic itself to other car enthusiasts who watch TopGear UK. Mods please remove if you feel this violates the forum rules.

Anyways, now that's out of the way, my company made a TopGear (UK) infographic based on all the public laptime data for the cars they have reviewed for over a decade. Some of the comparisons are really interesting to see. Here's the link to the pdf

Also if you wanted to know the story behind it, you can click here (this link will go to our company blog fyi)

Saved my copy! Thanks.

Interesting that a 996 GT3 RS at 1:27.2 from Season 3 laps slower than a MBZ CLS55 AMG at 1:26.9 in Season 6.

I don't think "Sacked Stig" ever did a very good job with the 911 based Porsches. New Stig seems to be better.

Wow - great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

(Incredibly minor and somewhat nitpicky editorial comment: you have a fair/fare typo going on in The Stig section).

Very cool! Thanks for posting! I'm assuming you won't mind if I share it with a few friends via email?

That was some cool info! It did take me a while to figure out the graph.

What about the Mitsu EVO? It did really well, & is very affordable.

Thank you for the feedback. I made a note to make sure it gets fixed.

Please share.


Just FYI, we will have a interactive version coming up by June 1st to make navigating through the data easier. We also have some corrections to make, but if anyone else sees something we need to correct, please let me know.

I appreciate the compliments too. You all rock!
