Just watched Top Gear and Stig took his helm off.
Any body else watch it?

You will be surprised. I thought it was Damon Hill all these years. Hell the guy is not even English.

well i doubt it very much it is the person that took his helmet off

first off, ferrari would only let a ferrari driver drive this fxx car, so it's max potential could be seen.

the lines driven on the topgear track where different then lines the "normal" stig drives.
Then there is the height difference of this "stig" and the old stig.

there are propably a few "stigs" but most of the times i think it is Ben collins
his name was allso in the police report of the hamster crash with the topspeedrun

I believe Schumi owns that one since it is black and the other 29 were red.
When I seen the car come out I knew it was Schumacher driving .
But after that I can't vouch for anything.

I do believe that he did that Power Lap in that car ... but I don't think he's the "regular" Stig ...

Well, I turned the TV on last night and the replay was on, and I caught it just as the FXX segment was starting. Good timing!

That was an awesone lap, 7 sec off the fastest lap is pretty impressive. I don't think Shumi is the regular Stig either, it just made for a good show.

Would sure have been interesting to see how fast the "regular" Stig had done that round in the FXX ... probably would have shaved off a bit from the old top time, but I don't believe quite as much ...

I also noticed that the TG crew didn't get to drive it ;) Wonder why ... :D
