As far as tyres and weather conditions go, it was a fair test.
A Seven will never rule on TOP Gear....There is a bias against it.
TV Execs and Prepubescent young boys need a foolishly expensive and exotic looking Battle axe to drool over, and not a shiv.
I don't have a Caterham but I won't sell my seven excepting if a nice Cat was within grasp.

Top Gear tests are not worth much given that they never test in the same conditions and that some cars get tested in the wet, but the video I posted in my original post shows a Cat doing 1:17.4 on better tires with better conditions
