I'm guessing that it was a stunt, and that Schumi is not the Stig at all...... ;D ;D

Somehow I think that the Stig is a bunch of different accomplished drivers...

I think there has actually been an article to that effect. One of the things they point out is Stig seems to vary in height from show to show. ;D

I'm pretty sure he drove the Ferrari, as it was a factory car so they would have wanted the best time, and my god it was fast, ridiculously fast!  :o :o :o :o :o

The Stig in the black suit was Perry McCarthy, the white suit was someone else, the info is out there if you look for it. I don't think it's a different person each time.

If you haven't downloaded the latest episode I highly recommend it.

First, one look at Shumacher's record-setting time around the Top Gear test track in a Ferrari FXX, and you realize he's not the same Stiggie we've seen on the show the last two seasons. Schumi was more balls-to-the-wall around the corners than the previous incarnation of our beloved Stiggie.

Secondly, Ferrari's only going to let an owner drive the Ferrari FXX. Make sense to us then that since they were testing Schumi's FXX, they'd have Schumi be the Stig.

My God people have short memories.  The Caparo T1 was faster - and it's street legal, if not entirely street drivable.

I admit, I'd rather have the FXX than the T1, though. ;)

The whole Jeremy thing died ages ago (and I almost wish he had died during the stupid drive a truck through a wall BS).

Jesus.  You don't find his humour funny, so you wish he was dead?  That's a bit extreme, isn't it?

No, people who do stupid things like deliberately drive trucks through brick walls are asking to die.  I think Clarkson should get a Darwin award for that antic.

I don't think he did so willingly - judging by the look on his face when he realized what the producers had lined up for him.....
