Of course, the little Willy makes it up pretty damn high against some amazing machinery...not as high as the 182 Trophy which can hold it's head very high...

where was the ITR?

If you mean the 'teg, it placed about 22nd or so.

Some amazing cars in the top 100.

Renault had 2 in the top 100, the R26R and the Trophy. Pug 205 came 23rd.

if you think 30th was a bad score...look at what the Willy beat:

Skyline GTR came 21st

Scooby P1 was 32nd

New Focus RS came 39th

Carerra GT 49th

McLaren F1 71st

Ferrari Enzo 58th

Gumpbert Apollo 59th

Clio 200 Cup 61st

Integrale 84th

Bugatti Veyron 81st

NSX 48th

968 CS 50th

Gallardo 54th

Exige 36th


You kinda get the idea. 30th may not sounds great, but for a 2.0L shopping trolley against the above....it's pretty incredible.

Where's the classic Mini? Surely the 1275 Cooper S must be very high on any best driver's car listing.

Megane R26R (5th)
Clio Trophy (Joint 7th with Ferrari F50, lol)
Clio Williams (30th)

Peugeot did well too with several models, 106, 205 and 306 Rallye all scoring well.

No R5GT turbo or 5 turbo? That's surprising.

Although the 5 was a classic motor I don't think they handled as well the others mentioned

IMHO a factory scooby is not a drivers car. Fairly quick in a straight line and has loads of grip. If you want to drive quickly in all weather conditions, without having to do anything, then they are hard to beat. Drivers car though? not in my book. For a fun journey I would take a Williams, 306 GTi-6/Rallye, 106GTi/Rallye or a 205GTi over one without a doubt.

Factory R33 Skyline? again nothing to write home about, why have this rather than an R32?

Given what is in the list an RX-7 is a glaring omission.

It's really hard to comprehend how they objectively jump from a Zonda to Ferrari to Clio and rate them within the context of drivers cars. For me, a Zonda or Ferrari will always be > than 99% of other cars.

Maybe having access to those types of cars on a daily basis (and without having to cope with the running costs!) diminishes the other worldy status of them a tad?

No matter what though, I partly love my Williams because I like the way it looks, and the fact its a just a Clio yet still does so well after all these years :) Nice to see it still rated right up there with the big boys :P
