 Topic: The Stig - Top GearPosted: 23 Jun 09 at 6:56am |
He was, but only for the FXX. There have been, and will be, many stigs. Even the top gear team point out that the stig's height and weight rather fluctuate... That's before you even begin to take into account the Stigs in things such as the cross-london challenge (when he went by underground) |

The FXX shouldnt be on the leader board in reality, they kicked off the DBR9 because it wasnt a road car and that went round in 1:08 so is actually faster! The FXX is no more of a road car than this and was slower too... That brings me back to the question of whether MS is the stig, the DBR9 is probably a slower car than the FXX but because MS was not used to the track when driving the FXX he didnt post a time as quick as the usual stig did in the aston, i think |

Yep, it's his. All the other black ones have a white stripe. |

Definitely not the stig, in this interview he talks about learning the track, which if he was the stig he wouldn't need to do http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/schuey-in-the-FXX As for the fxx being eligible for the power laps, I reckon it shouldn't be on there, as Ferrari keep it and only let you drive it a circuits, also looks as though it wouldn't get over a policemans flip flop!

Has the actual new series of Top Gear started or was that just a one of preview?

He didn't act the stig very well either, the way he walked and the fact that he showed expression when shaking his head. You could tell that this wasnt the usual stig... still good tv though! I also doubt that the bbc could afford to have the MS as the stig very easily! Is this the end of the reasonably priced car too? The way he drove it made me think there may be a new one next week, just a thought... |

The car which Schuey was driving was his OWN PERSONAL FXX. Apparently the only black one ever produced. I don't see that there is a problem with him doing a bit of Ferrari PR, its not like when Hamilton went on the show he didn't mention Mercedes every other sentence! It's quite obvious that Schuey isn't actually the stig, I think they made that pretty clear with the whole getting lost thing on the track! Good to get him on there anyway, he is a driving legend.
