Default Why oh why didnt the Stig take the p50 around the test track?

I demand that all four horsepower of the Peel P50 are stressed to the max by the man with a gravitational pull from his testicles. Come on Top Gear, bring the p50 back once more for the stig!

They should have done a race to see whether the 599 could do like 10 laps before the Peel did one.

Remember when Jeremy got the Sports Tractor for the episode they planted their bio-diesel? That had about the same top speed and got around in 5 minutes.

Three Stigs were lost to rollovers while trying. May God rest their souls... if they had any.

i have to agree! driving something small just makes the world around you look more amazing. I can remember as a kid always wishing i could spend a day as a cat so that i could crawl into all the small spaces i could never explore otherwise (and climb trees much better) i suppose small cars satisfy that urge in me somewhat.

For now atleast, i can recommend riding or driving a original Lotus Elan if you can find one to do so, its like being in a psychotic clown car. Riding in one at a autocross, the cones that defined the course never had looked so big and intimidating before images/smilies/smile.gif, i loved it!

I was hoping during the whole segment that Stig would take it around the track.......as I was hoping he would take the Reventon around the track....as I was hoping he would take they Veyron round the track. Come to think of it, that episode had 3 Stig let-downs =\

And why didn't they take the Rolls around the track?

The Reventon wasn't taken around the track because of the mass amount of bage crowding the car.
