Lap times which were recorded, but not added

Unlike later series, Series 1 featured a plethora of Power Laps which would have been recognised as valid lap times in later years, but were for some reason or another not officially added to the board during the broadcast of the inaugural series of Top Gear. Some of these, such as the Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R32 would debut in Series 2, whereas others, such as the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG and Audi RS6 would never be added.
