DBR9 & F1 car are race cars and the Capparo basically is... All on slicks. None driven to circuit (hence why they were not included in the lap times board on TG). Also Ultima now lapped in 1:9.9, beating FXX with ease...

It is a road car, it does have sealed luggage compartments and air con and stereo, and yes you can take girlfriend to South of France in it. get you facts right

FXX was using racing slicks

@doubledeckaa On slicks. I personally really think having treaded road tires is very important.

[Bischlarbo69]

@doubledeckaa With ease? It beat the FXX by a tenth of a second...

WHO THINKS EVERY OLD VIDEO WITH OLD FASTEST LAP TIMES TITTLED "TOP GEAR FASTEST LAP" SHOULD GET OFF THEIR ASS AND CHANGE THERE FUCKING TITTLES.

@ASSHOLELA I'm just saying what the show's bullshit rules are, they've deliberately avoided the Ultima for a very long time because they know nothing else can come close on their lap time board.

It's too bad because IIRC the other brit car show Fifth Gear had it on there, I think Tiff Needel was driving it.

@NinjaRider777R

the caparo t1 featured on the show was a pre-development prototype that had a lot of problems. hence the fires. The production caparo t1 of course could negotiate speed bumps , else it won't be in watch?v=UeZ5nM4nL28,and driven on the porthole filled english roads by evo. It had an adjustable ride hide for road/track performance.

And the bugatti veyron also had a non-speedbump clearing rideheight in topspeed mode. Thats like saying the topspeed set by the veyron is not valid.

[NinjaRider777R]

@ASSHOLELA It's not just the tires that need to meet the show's "no slicks" requirements, there's also a "speedbump test" which the Caparo T1 couldn't pass, but the Ultima did and they still refuse to have it on the show.

@doubledeckaa

caparo t1 No slicks. completely road tyres. you can see a shot of the tyre tread when jeremy and stig where drivng it.

I wish they did all the Top Gear laps in this view with no music.
