Nigel is the man! And he's doing good in that GP Masters series too.fbc said:Ximian said:Nigel weighs a lot more so if all things being equal, he did a better lap than the Stig.
:lol: If that's not reaching for straws I don't know what is... Given the length of the track, and weight of the car itself, some extra body weight isn't going to make the difference. All respect to Nige and his lap though - he killed Damon's lap and that's all the matters for me

If you watch F1 you'll agree weight makes a huge difference. In JGTC they penalize the winning cars with weights, you can really see a small amount of ballast can make a huge difference on the track.
well said:Well, they put his time on the general Lap Times chart, which means surely he is not a former or current F1 driver? :?

Not only that, but in one of the "best of" episodes Stiggy got a chance to drive an F1 car around the track and it was described as quite a treat for him.

From the wiki entry said:Heikki Kovalainen (the Renault F1 test driver) admitted to driving the Renault R24 F1 car around the track in the 2004 series, clothed as the Stig

Buck-O said:matt_shaw said:Buck-O said:Im still of the belief that the curent stig is a former rally driver. Given his hard in, pedal out driving fasion. And the quick sawing at the wheel for car correction. As well as the rather lurid power slides he often pulls off on throttle out of a bend.
And really, the only rally drive i know of with the credentials to do that sort of driving with any amount of compitance is Colin McRae.
But there may be someone else out there i dont know of.
You know what, thats a good theory
Another thing that I have know idea why I noticed, but The Stig has very skinny legs. Colin McRae is a skinny man; connection???
Well, not just that, but i think Colin has the right attitude to really get a laugh out of doing somthing like the Stig.
Besides, its not like hes got a busy schedule or anything. :lol:
p0w3r said:wait a sec...the stig started wearing alpinestars racing suits just recently correct? where there times where the stig wore alpinestars then didnt wear alpinestars and then went back to alpinestars? because if this is the case, then just match the non-alpinestars times whith the times colin was driving for skoda last year. reason is because colin is still sponsored by alpinestars and thats the suit he wears.

Clarkson is a writer....
BimmerFan said:i always though that the stig was more than one person, and different drivers took turns driving as the stig. could be an unfounded rumor since no one really knows.
