these are the most interesting celebrity
lap times in the world places of those
that would welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 celebrity guests on top gear
for this list we’ll be looking at
memorable guests noteworthy laps and
general automotive finesse in Top Gear’s
star in a reasonably-priced car segment
that’s a nice gear box that would care
my flats either laps posted in all four
of the series cars the Suzuki Liana the
Chevrolet Lacetti
the Kia Cee’d and Vauxhall Astra will be
considered guests of all sorts are up
for contention however f1 drivers will
be excluded as they are and were a list
unto themselves here he comes
just flies to number 10 Jimmy Carr it’s
quite a lot quicker you three seconds
quick on me yes yes I am revealing
himself to be a serial Rover owner car
was absolutely reckless during his first
Top Gear appearance yeah good with a
style that was innovatively bad jimmy
fluked his way to the top of the
leaderboard but later learned what the
Stig really thought of his driving the
Stig did say that he’s never met anyone
who and I think he put it Dickes about
as much as you we had a law lack of
skill aside car remained the show’s
fastest man in the Liana
until it was retired happy happy in
mid-table overthought happy in mid-table
well you did it actually in 140 6.9
later attempts were much less impressive
nearly rolling the Lacetti the 8 out of
10 cats host recorded what would be the
Chevy’s second worst lap time two
minutes and eight point nine one seconds
she’s gone everybody’s trying black car
almost redeemed himself in the Astra
setting a time of one forty five point
six but proved to be as hopeless as ever
when he broke the car and destroyed one
of its tires I think I might broke the
car number nine Michael Gambon you just
huge success on a household name now
because of that corner Gambon corner
he’s the one that many people have
rolled failed and slid through the final
turn but Michael Gambon was first
formally named carpenters corner the
turn was permanently renamed in Gambon’s
honor when he came through it on two
wheels looking terrified throughout the
sixth time Dumbledore said a lowly 155
lap time managed to bust the Liana’s
right side mirror on a direction sign
and nearly rolled in his now namesake
corner but it wasn’t all bad you damaged
all right on try scarce time to bring it
in with me but well never mind here we
go on his second appearance Gambon
claimed his newfound turn fame had
dramatically improved his stock with the
ladies and the Dame Judi Dench was quote
after him your stench is off to me Judi
Dench fancies you because effectively I
had because of that because it makes me
very butch number eight Erin Paul my
daughter’s gonna be mental now because
that’s her favorite car it’s her
favourites are driving it as I love your
daughter the future Todd Chavez only
appeared on Top Gear once but that was
only needed to clinch the top spot on
the leaderboard promoting a show that
never aired in Britain Breaking Bad and
a movie that wasn’t out yet need for
speed Paul ran a solid slick and clean
lap of one 44.7 to overtake then leader
Brian Johnson Erin Poole was 40
full the former jesse pinkman overcame a
quote brutal start and received cheers
for calling the Vauxhall Astra bitch
bitch yep Paul’s top gear appearance is
likely more memorable for its interview
than the actual lap undramatic as it may
have been Paul’s time was only beaten
twice by the end of the clarkson era I
mean I would like to be you know towards
the top but I know but that’s the 145
region yeah I mean I don’t know that
well do you know I was just about to say
well Jesse Pinkman but I was number 7
Tom Cruise well we’ve actually killed
you I series 15 and possibly due to
Jonathan Ross’s dismissal from the BBC
plenty of people don’t care about
expensively tailored clothes fine you
don’t have to care about your clothes
but go too far and that’s what you end
up with Top Gear had the swagger to pull
an internationally-known
a level guests in its 15th series they
bagged both Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz
sitting here it’s almost like I’ve been
joined by the genetic blueprint for the
human race with his daily thing although
both committed cardinal sins in the
court of Clarkson Cruz was a biker and
Diaz a Prius owner they made up for it
on the track while he had trouble
shifting with his left hand
crews drove an incredibly focused lap
until the final corner
flipping the curve entering Gambon crews
took the rest of the turn on two wheels
but also took the leaderboard with a
time of one forty four point two beating
Diaz who had taken the top spot just
minutes prior
number six Ellen MacArthur but this is I
want to talk about the Southern Oceans
okay how big are they they’re endless I
think they would say because they go
round around the bottom of the earth
fresh from the Southern Oceans Ellen
MacArthur was a guest clarkson had long
vied for and she did not disappoint
already the fastest person to sail
around the world
MacArthur became the fastest celebrity
to ever post a time in the Suzuki Liana
not speaking to the in-car camera game
Ellen ran a series of smooth consistent
laps one of that beautifully cut smooth
is SIL that one is gamble MacArthur
however had firm doubts about her
performance and begged producers for
more laps which they denied her as she
had already beaten then leader Jimmy
cars record by two tenths of a second
you did it in one minute forty six point
seven
despite rarely being on land let alone
in a car MacArthur’s time of one forty
six point seven remained the fastest
celebrity lap until the Liana was
retired your life is now complete ladies
and gentlemen number five Brian Johnson
Jeremy may have never heard the name
Brian Johnson before but the ac/dc front
man’s run in the Lacetti made sure he’d
never forget it I’m guessing
yes and now we’re coming up to the
second to last corner that’s beautifully
though one of the few times he was seen
without his signature newsboy cap
Johnson style was described by Clarkson
as quote smooth and violent stabbing
that one in nicely through oh I say that
was good
Johnson ran his motor clean through
Bacharach Bend but shook it all night
long coming at a gamble scoring slightly
behind lap leader JK Johnson became an
instant friend of the show and was given
the honor of cutting the ribbon on the
Astra in series 20 well cut the ribbon
thanks to Bryan Johnson in three two
it’s got stuck in the car she really did
in the newer car Jonna was even better
nailing a 145 point one lap time that
was untouched for almost two series in
the voxel Astra tech line lifetime
warranty
114 501 Oh brilliant you’re faster than
you were before web there number four
Simon Cowell
ladies and gentlemen Simon Cowell
mr. nasties top gear debut was met with
boobs but he only gave haters more to
hate during his interview with Jeremy
Cowell confirmed he just ordered a
Maybach yes
and was considering ordering the then
new Aston Martin db9 you know nice
simple everyday cars on the track
however Clarkson found Judge Dredd to be
quote disappointingly good and he was
cow’s time of 147 point one was enough
to take the top spot from Jodie Kidd but
was also nearly 3 full seconds faster
than Clarkson’s own time of 150 wasn’t
even try Simon’s later appearance in the
Lacetti was even quicker 145 point nine
which not only saw him snatch first from
chef Gordon Ramsay but also earned the
praise of the Top Gear camera crew the
cameraman said they’ve never seen
consistency like in the practice number
three Michael Fassbender
he’s half-german and half-irish so
ladies and gentlemen please say top of
the morgen to Michael Fassbender with
snow on the ground and the crew
literally chipping ice off the
penultimate corner a solid lap time for
Michael Fassbender seemed unlikely this
is the second-to-last corner it was just
she’s ours we’re still Fassbender only
owned one car in his life
a diesel Cujo is it gone now travelling
in style ie I crashed it and told me
did it in but behind the wheel of the
mighty Kia Cee’d Magneto’s younger self
proved to be more than capable with
clarkson describing his run as quote
smooth as hell yep oh look he’s smooth
his hands sweating like a corner none
sweating like it call it no that
smoothness ultimately translated into a
one forty two point eight lap time which
while not enough to take the top
position was never beaten for the
remainder of the seeds lifetime
number two Rowan Atkinson they borrow my
most prized possession I know I know I
know for some reason I trusted you more
than most people trust you Jerry I think
although he had previously lent his
McLaren f1 to the show 16 full series
had gone by before Rowan Atkinson
finally made an appearance on top gear
to another one
the imperiousness one gets from a Range
Rover alright okay promoting the yet to
be released
Johnny English Reborn and its
rolls-royce phantom Atkinson discussed
v16 engines and his own car history with
Clarkson he also confessed that he was
worried his driving skills wouldn’t live
up to expectations sir like you were
using launch control Academy
turns out he had nothing to worry about
taking an f1 like line around the track
in the Kia Cee’d the Black Adder did
what Clarkson thought to be impossible
he beat Johnny Bishop by over half a
second
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions okay I
like this third gear business
I like this third get business they
don’t call it water line for nothing
number one Matt LeBlanc
I know Europe you know what we call a
petrol hello you call a gearhead when
Matt LeBlanc arrived early in series 18
Rowan Atkinson still sat at the top of
the board with the seemingly impossible
time of one forty two point two it was
always he boring you to death as well
through there yeah when he left Matt
LeBlanc had set a time that went
unchallenged for the remainder of the
clarkson era one forty two point one on
the track LeBlanc was tight tidy and
consistently matched atkinson’s lap time
until finally beating it in his last
attempt
of the guests that followed only f1
driver Daniel Ricciardo was able to come
anywhere near his lap time although he
was driving the Liana LeBlanc later took
part in a typically unusual review for
the newer version of the Cee’d old
versus new
the age-old question and was eventually
made a co-host of the revamped
Post Clarkson version of the show
