Journalist on an unfamiliar track with a passenger no less.Here is an accompanying article about his Top Gear track drive, which is interesting in that it appears he was able to lap the 12C in 1:19.4. So there you go - an Average Joe journalist can lap the 12C within 3 tenths of the Stig in a 458. Maybe they gave him a ringer!(actually, based on that lap time, he could probably show Jason Plato which pedal is the throttle...)
