On this week’s Top Gear, Usain Bolt is the star in the reasonably priced car, Clarkson drives the new Focus RS, May and Hammond race a new Porsche Panamera against the Royal Mail and Clarksons challenges the British army.

As we all know Clarkson loves fast fords. He recently owned a Ford GT which he sold to purchase a Mercedes SLR but previous to this he owned a Ford Escort Cosworth, his Cosworth was one of the press vehicles and it kept its statuary Ford number plate K38 FMC, FMC standing for Ford motor company.

So naturally Clarkson fell straight in love with the new 300BHP Focus RS. He did seem to think it would have benefited from a 4 wheel drive system to help with torque steer. But said “the cornering grip was phenomenal and you’d only slide wide after your face came off”.

Hammond then came along in the new Renault Megane R26R which Clarkson poked huge holes in it saying it couldn’t be an everyday car as there’s no rear seats no radio, it’s basically a no thrills inside car. Compared to the Focus RS which is still a focus inside with a large boot, aircon and satnav.

The race with the Porsche Panamera against the Royal Mail to be honest was slightly boring and predictable.

Usain Bolt did a 1:46.5 lap in the reasonably priced car.

We did slightly wonder why Clarkson was hammering round in an Evo 8 bouncing it off the rev limiter, with a crude boost control valve running the most boost for the turbo that he can manage. Turns out that it was a drug dealer’s car and the court hard ordered that the car must be destroyed; well Top Gear did a very good job
