Thumbs up

Now this was a story I do appreciate!!

I agree, it is probably not the Stig, but it is still a good yarn...

"Now what your name?" (with his actually helmet off), as said by Clarkson.

I agree unlikely - the 2 f1 drivers on the show mansell & webber both took a different line on track to the stig - suggesting he is not f1 quality

have not seen the episode yet.
were their times better than the Stig's, though?
so far, the only one close to the Stig's time was Lewis Hamilton (in the wet, too).

It seems plausible but then again they may just be playing with our minds.

One thing is for sure it definitely will not be hurting the shows ratings.
