Guy Ritchie reportedly broke four cars while attempting to become the fastest star to appear on Top Gear.

The Sherlock Holmes director was involved in a series of spins and scrapes while circling Dunsfold Park track in Surrey, according to The Mirror.

Richie, who was taking part in the BBC Two show's Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment, said that the wet weather was a factor.

An audience member at the programme's recording said: "He told the show's presenters it was a wet track and he had ended up breaking four cars over the course of the day, including destroying one of the gearboxes.

"It sounded like he had a few problems finding top gear, so I don't think his time will be the fastest."

The episode, which also features an airport vehicle race, will be shown tomorrow at 8.30pm on BBC Two.
