Matt LeBlanc Triumphs on Top Gear

Matt LeBlanc has seen off competition from Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz to top the leaderboard of U.K. motoring show Top Gear's racetrack challenge.

The former Friends star got behind the wheel of a hatchback for a lap of the circuit as part of the programme's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car slot.

Footage of the drive was shown on Sunday (05Feb12) and LeBlanc whistledmerrily as he raced round the track, prompting host Jeremy Clarkson to declare "It was obviously boring you to death out there!"

Diaz and Cruise boast times of one minute 45.2 seconds and one minute 44.2 seconds respectively, while actor Rowan Atkinson topped the leaderboard with a time of one minute 42.2 seconds - but LeBlanc beat the Johnny English star by 0.1 seconds.

As Clarkson told LeBlanc his lap was timed at one minute 42.1 seconds, the actor joked, "That's not bad".
