Celebrity Laps
Each week we invite a different famous person to our studio for a bit of a chat. But, before that, they have to complete a timed lap around our infamous test track and become a 'star in a reasonably priced car'.
For season 8 onwards we've retired the Liana and replaced it with the awesome Chevrolet Lacetti, which, believe it or not, is even more powerful. As a result we've had to start a whole new lap board. But don't worry; you can still view all the old Suzuki Liana lap times from series 1-7 here.
