Sunday just gone (7 December). The trouble with iPlayer is that there are several Top Gears - the new episode, the repeat of the new episode, Best of TG, etc.

Eidt - I just went into iPlayer and searched for Top Gear. I think the one you want is "Episode 6 (new series)"

That clip hasn't got the caterham in it and part 2 has been removed due to copyright infringement looks like the BBC have spat the dummy out

But found a clip of just the caterham

Enjoy http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NQfEO-gIqSg

I'll sound like a scratched record here, but I would love to see him up against a recognised one lap specialist. i.e. a top level hillclimb / sprint driver.

At the Goodwood FOS some years ago, Graeme Wight Jnr. showed some very big names some serious speed.

Staying Scottish, I reckon Jonathan Rarity or Les Mutch could both give The Stig a fright.

(With apologies to Athoirs - I know les has daft whiskers and weighs 20 stone, but he's mega fast. )

btw, what engine is it in the r500? They say it's a 2.0 ford engine, then say that it makes 500bhp?
