Default TopGear Power Lap Times!

I dont know whether this is okay to post here, and don't think this has been done here yet (atleast not in near past). So let me try..

Just as the Heading says I want to know the best laptimes round the TG Track by cars (prefferebly Dry laptimes under 1 min 26 secs and Wet laptimes under 1 min 30 secs.)
The ones that I can recall are :

Dry Best Laptime
Radical SR3 - 1:19.?
Porsche Carrera GT - 1:19.8
Mercedes McLaren SLR - 1:20.9
Westfield XTR - 1:22.6
Lamborghini Murcielago - 1:23.7
Pagani Zonda - 1:23.8
Koenigsegg - 1:23.9
Noble 3.0 - 1:25.0
Lamborghini Gallardo - 1:25.8

Wet Best Laptime
Lotus Exige - 1:26.4 *
Porsche GT3 - 1:27.2
BMW M3 CSL - 1:28.0

If some one can help me get all times under 1 min : 26 secs (dry) and 1 min : 30 secs (wet), tt will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

* = Edited!

Ahh i didn't know they took it around the circuit in the mag as i didn't get it this month - *heads straight for mag section to check*

**EDIT** correct of all the months not to get top gear mag i pick this i'll have to look out for the odd copy left in the shops i think they should have done the comparison on top gear on the tv. Thing is they don't always share stuff between top gear mag and tv as jeremy went to germany to test the CGT ages ago in top gear mag but we never saw anything on top gear probably because they were off air just bad timing

You ruined the whole series!!
Shit, My Bad!
If you want I'll remove it, do you think that'll be a good Idea? Actually I just want to know the best laptimes on the TG circuits till now! I am sorry, really very sorry if I've ruined it. Yes I got the CGT & SLR times from the MAG! :cry:

And "mendocino" Thank you! for the contribution!

I wouldn't worry to much, its easily availbale material anyone interested in top gear will probably find the mag scans anyway IMO it hasn't really spoiled it for me just confirmed that what i thought- that its faster

Thank you very much AL123, I was really feeling bad, thinking I ruined it for the TV Fans. Actually it didnt strike me when I wrote the timings, but anyway, u made me feel better. Specially as this being my first ever Topic Starter Thread!
I didnt want it to be a dissappointer... ops:

I don't know why lately people prefer to think or hope instead of just search.. it was already done.. just update the old topic -> http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...?p=51524#51524

.. this one is closed now
