Be the 'Star in the car' and race against the clock around this special sprint track near Birmingham, to see if you can top that leaderboard. Taking a reasonably-priced car and kitting it out with full race-spec safety gear, means you can drive a normal family saloon to within an inch of its motoring life, as you hurtle around the track and power up the straights in top gear.
You climb in to the car kitted out in your race suit and helmet, clunk the door shut, click the seatbelt, pop your favourite driving tunes CD into the car stereo, adjust the mirrors, turn the key, listen to the err...'roar' of the engine and away you go. A screech of tyres, maybe a little bit of tyre tread smoke and you're off. After several practice laps, you're ready for the 'hot lap' which, in a Stig style is against the clock and timed to the very last one hundredth of a second.
As you zoom down the straights, get the car leaning into those corners and rattle through the chicanes, onboard cameras will capture every grimace and every word, so keep that lap commentary clean. Don't forget those top 'Star in a car' tips - like not putting the headlights or the air-conditioning on as it eats into the car's immense power output!
In fact, it's more than just driving fun - you really could be crowned the ultimate 'Star in a car' as each driver's score is noted on the leaderboard, with the top five drivers of the year being invited back to the track for free, to take part in the 'Star in a car' showdown for the Leaderboard Trophy and £1000 prize money.
