Matt Le Blanc beats Rowan Atkinson as fastest celebrity driver on Top Gear

He's known for starring in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, but Matt Le Blanc has more talents than one.
Aside from making people laugh with his much-loved Friends character Joey, the 44-year-old actor is evidently quite superb behind the wheel.
During a guest appearance on Top Gear's The Star In A Reasonably Price Car segment, the U.S. star blew producers away by becoming their fastest ever guest completing the laps in 1 minute 42.1 seconds.

During the show, which will be aired on BBC2 this evening, Matt impressed the crew so much that they even asked him to add some wheelspins to his performance as he was so perfect in the drivers seat.
'Matt was so good that producers said to him, "Can you do some wheelspins to make it look more exciting?" He did extremely well,' an insider said.
According to a source, Matt had begged producers to let him appear on the motor show as he is such a big fan.

'Matt was so excited about doing it. He is a very good driver and had a long chat with host Jeremy Clarkson,' the source added.
However, someone who is less likely to be impressed with Matt's appearance on the show is actor Rowan Atkinson.
