I predict it'll be an entertainment show rather than a factual car show... just in case anyone else was expecting it to have changed.

Who'd you reckon New Stig is then?? I thought it could be Nigel Mansell... he was pretty similar time-wise to the old stig in the Liana and don't think he's up to much these days apart from making shit insurance adverts.

I'd like to see Tiff making more of an appearance in the show.


Cheers,
Grant

I'm pretty sure it would be the car with that power to weight ratio mate... the Caterham that old stig took round looked twitchy as fuck, it's great to see cars pushed right to their limit.

New Stig is Tiff Needell. Just look at the way the steering inputs are made to the Atom, the driving style etc.. Now look on you tube at most of Tiffs incar vid, espcially the old RS 500 one!

Yea, I think you're right Wil... quite a 'choppy' driving style.
