Jools Holland news - Jools and the crown - 2009

Looks like Jools Holland wants another crack at the Top Gear test track – either that or he’s trying to tell the world about the new series of his live music show Later…

Maybe both.

Anyway, he was snapped during a recent visit to Beaulieu’s World of Top Gear exhibition threatening to tamper with the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car lap board, and putting himself at the top as king.

Jools, who took part in the telly show back in series 10, managed an impressive 149.9 at the wheel of our Suzuki Liana – in a driving style described by Clarkson as ‘enthusiastic and brave’.

His lap’s worth a watch, not least for the amount of time he spent on the grass during practice. Take a look below – and check out Beaulieu’s website if you’re interested in World of Top Gear.
