rtr Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I don't really believe Schumy would spend his time driving cars around an airstrip for a TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So much for my bet. I thought it was Lewis Hamilton. What a great episode. What about the Ferrari? OMG! The exit speed as it came out of some of those corners was just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2race Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I DVR'd the show and haven't watched it yet, however Shummy had already been "revealed" as The Stig once before. Which was then later discounted as false. Can't wait to watch this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 That'll be the same episode, which is about a year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indijan Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sorry but he is not the stig. The reason he was in the studio was that they wanted his car, the FXX, on the track. He didnt want anyone else driving his car, so they had to make him the stig for that episode. Ferrari only made 25 FXX's, 24 red ones and one black. The black one was given to Michael Schumacher as a present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDCooper Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 What a car! I'd like to drive a Ferrari, but that one would just be too much. I thought the episode was great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) The current White STIG (for the Top Gear Track) is the 2nd one, The 1st Black, screwed up at a photo shoot by arriving out of uniform with his helmet in a bag and was seen entering and leaving by the papers. Sometimes they use other drivers for specific tasks. Like the madman in Iceland that drove that hillclimber. Hopefully I am getting tickets to the live show next month, but I suspect work will get in the way. BTW, if you can't / haven't seen the Australian Top Gear you have not missed anything, I wasted 5 minutes of my life for the first episode, thankfully the wife came in and wanted help with something in the garage.

entropic Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I love Top Gear. My favorite episode: Has communism ever produced a decent car? I'm not sure if it would be nearly as funny if they weren't British though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2race Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Communism, that was a good episode. Just watched it. One of my favorites was when they had a local tribesman fill in as the STIG. He had a loin cloth and white helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
