[Seagulls over Lewes]

the stig done the london to brighton earlier, i saw him with my own eyes did anyone else see him in his true glory

Yes and there was a crash nearby where he was cycling which everyone blamed him for which was quite funny. Hence to say nobody was hurt.

Black Stig was Perry McCarthy, the current one has been widely rumoured to be a guy called Ben Collins

This is true, he's some touring car driver from Bristol I believe. Apparently its well known in the motor sport world who the stig is but as they love the show so much they all play up to the 'mystery'.

The car does make a huge difference, that Ferrari is stupid quick and set up for pure performance unlike many of the cars that go round there. It has slick tyres, and that alone is probably worth 3 or 4 seconds over most things round that track. Plus unlike most cars with 800-odd horsepower, this actually looked like it could put it down. That's not to say Schumacher didn't make a difference, but 'real Stig' knows that track so well that it wouldn't have been much.

I suspect that Ferrari only leant it to them on the understanding that one of their drivers drove it.

Ben Collins drove a vintage racer at the Festival Of Speed last year. Judging by the amount of people shouting 'Alright Stig?!' at him in the paddock, I think the GBP has a pretty good idea who he is as well!

MIGHT well be a bluff, but Stephen Fry has been doing the "Star in a reasonably priced car" thing today, and said "Der Stig v kind ....." - could it actually be Schumacher all the time?

 

[skipper734]

That's quite interesting.

definitely not - unless on every other week he wears high heels/platform shoes. Schumacher was about 6 inches shorter (compared to Clarkson) than the 'usual' Stig.

Why have they started putting hot women in the front of the audience? Not that i'm complaining mind...

Also notice they removed the time he did.

Back tonight 8pm BBC2
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lnd97

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May confront the credit crunch head on as they attempt to find three sensibly priced small cars that won't make you miserable, a process that involves haranguing bankers, harnessing large dogs, and almost getting arrested.
Plus, James meets American stunt driving legend Ken Block, Jeremy tests the mildly insane Mercedes SL Black on the track, and Michael McIntyre is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Oh god, not Michael McIntyre, I really dont find that guy funny.

I hope note it is only the men's doubles to play. That can be put on the red button.
