Can you beat Simon Cowell and celeb chums?

If you are not a real celebrity, but want to behave like one in the comfort of your own worldwide web, then here’s a way. This simple game, a new addition to Top Gear’s website, recreates the infamous “Star in a reasonably priced car” feature. Steer your car through the tricky Hammerhead, then accelerate out of Gambon to see how you match up with the likes of Simon Cowell (the fastest star yet) and actor Brian Cox (the slowest).

We’re not very good, so far anyway. Our best time is a frankly shit 2:05:11, which we have no doubt that you can beat with some ease.
