Ellen MacArthur Wins on Top Gear
The fastest sailor around the world is now the fastest Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. Ellen MacArtur, Patron of the Nancy Blackett Trust, saw off fifty-nine other celebrities on the BBC's Top Gear show yesterday when she posted the fastest lap time of them all.
Ellen was invited to take the challenge in a Suzuki Liana around Top Gear's airfield circuit, as part of the programme's regular guest feature. She managed a time of 1:46.7, relegating the previous leader comedian Jimmy Carr into second place (with a time of 1:46.9) and music mogul Simon Cowell into third (with a time of 1:47.0), and well as earning generous compliments from presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
For those of you who missed it, the programme is repeated tomorrow (Tuesday 6th December) at 7.00pm on BBC2.

Wow.

ALL OUT WINNER.
As Yoda said, "There is another" - talking about Helen me thinks :)
What a fix! there is no way she did that time, just two secs behind the f1 boys despite wide on the first bend so slow on the second from last and bouncing across the grass on the last. Clarkson is fan - it was a blatent fix.
