Re: The Stig...revealed (?)
Yeah I watched the whole episode. The Stig changes a lot of times but mostly is Ben Collins.

I am not going to spoil it for others HE was there purely because the Ferrari FXX can only be driven by a select few. Who better to drive the car at the limit then him. So they tied everything together in the show.. purely for fun.

Awsome episode.

I'm just watching it now and I don't buy it. Though you can't argue with that FXX lap time, wow. Nothing short of an F1 car is going to take that one.

Re: The Stig...revealed (?)
How much of that time was Michael, how much was the FXX, and how much was the race tires?

For faster, the Caparo T1 was 1:10.6, the Aston Martin DBR9 was 1:08.6, and the Renault R24 was 59 seconds - on a wet course!

I don't think Shumacher was ever the Stig. I agree with Vinnie, they did it for fun.

That locomotive was mind-boggling.
