The Knight and Day actors took part in the 'star in a reasonably priced car' challenge on the BBC motoring show on Sunday night, which saw each of them drive round a racing track in a small hatchback.
Diaz posted the series's quickest time of 1 minute, 45.2 seconds, which itself was shortly eclipsed by Cruise's time of 1 minute, 44.2 seconds.
They both beat the existing record of 1 minute, 45.5 seconds set by Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint.
Cruise, who drove round the final corner of the track on two wheels as his car tilted sideways, said: "This is the best day. This was like a vacation.
"When I was on two wheels I thought, 'I don't know what's going to happen... If I go through on the side does the time still count?'."
Host Jeremy Clarkson admitted: "That was a breathtaking thing."
