List of Top Gear test track Power Lap times
This is the full list of "official" Power Lap times on the Top Gear test track.[1]
Qualifying vehicles
Top Gear define a qualifying vehicle as a road-legal production car on road-legal tires that has sufficient ride height to clear a standard speed bump. For these reasons the F1 car (0:59.0), Aston Martin DBR9 (1:08.6) and Sea Harrier (0:31.2) do not appear.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Whenever a non-qualifying vehicle is raced, the time is compared to the official power laps but then removed from the board. For example, the Ferrari FXX owned by Michael Schumacher (1:10.7) was taken off the board because it both failed to meet road legal standards and used slick tyres, and the Caparo T1 (1:10.6) was removed because its front wing was too low to drive over a sleeping policeman.

- 1:12.6 – McLaren 720S - Series 25
- 1:12.6 – McLaren P1 tested by Motor Trend 2014

- 1:14.2 – Ferrari LaFerrari. Set on 12 June 2015 in damp conditions by Jason Plato as part of television programme TFI Friday's twentieth-anniversary show

Time adjustments
Sometimes an additional term is written next to the time (such as Hot). This indicates that The Stig and the Top Gear team consider that the prevalent weather conditions have affected the lap time or car's performance. The time on the board is not changed: e.g. 1:50 MM (Mildly Moist) is deemed to be equivalent to 1:48 on a normal dry track. The following list describes how many seconds it costs a car or gives a car an advantage. These adjustments are also not applicable to Formula 1 drivers.
| Term | Conditions | Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| HOT/COLD | Track surface or car performance affected by high/low temperature or humidity | −1 second |
| Mildly moist (MM) / Damp (D) | Track surface slightly damp with some dry patches after light rain or drizzle | −2 seconds |
| Moist (M) | Track surface slightly wet due to shower of rain | −3 seconds |
| Wet (W) / Melted snow (MS) | Track surface wet due to light rain or melted snow | −4 seconds |
| Very wet (VW) | Track surface very wet (with large puddles) due to heavy rain | −6 seconds |
