Again, not disagreeing with anything you said, just pointing it out.
You're absolutely right Spikuh, they have changed drivers along the way, I almost included that but figured, as you said, that the variances would be negligable also the generations are pretty much grouped under one driver. ie 350Z and E46 M3 are both Ben Collins times and the 370Z and E90/92 M3 times are new Stig, old Black Stig (Perry McCarthy) is only responsible for a handful of Power Lap times as his tenure was fairly short.

Now that your very good point is addressed, Top Gear nerd question: New Stig getting better times than Sacked Stig? Should some of the Lap Leaders get retested to eliminate any doubt, ie the Veyron, Ascari A10, CCX, Enzo etc.? Also shouldn't New Stig do a power lap in the Liana to see where he ranks among the F1 guys?

New Season slated for late June, can't wait.
