If you put the cars on an actual sports car or formula 1 track, I m sure the track times would be a lot different.

The Top Gear Test Track was designed by lotus to test the all around performance of a car. The track results require a mixture of handling, braking and acceleration which is supposed to balance the results of high power cars (Viper, Corvette) with light, good handling cars (Lotus, Ariel).

If tested in similar conditions it is probably a better indicator than the Nuremberg (A manufacturer favourite) at all around car performance.
