Since Top Gear first emerged in its current form ten years ago, 168 laps of our test track have been completed by glamorous stars in three different Reasonably Priced Cars. More facts: that means 57 laps in the Lacetti, 34 in the C-Apostrophe-D and 77 in the Liana, including 12 laps by F1 drivers and Stigs.
You probably know the drill, but for those who don't, each week we invite a different famous person to complete a timed lap around our infamous test track. We've had rock stars, page three girls, politicians, chefs, gun-toting Mustang-owning American lesbians and... John Prescott.
