He s the best one yet, any ideas who he is yet? He certainly seems a lot more in control than the Mk2 Stig. 10/10 for that effort, ballsy!

The stig in the Rally car might not have been the circuit stig............

Ah fuck it... one of these for me cause I've started a thread very similar to this in the Non-Car related bit!!

His driving was absolutely brilliant tonight, Hammond definitely shat his pants towards the end of the Rally section.


Cheers,
Grant

Yep, and last week when 'James' supposedly drove the V8 ariel atom and then 'stig' drove it for the lap time board, the footage of steering wheel control during the drives was remarkably similar...........

EDIT: Tiff Needel, as well as being a tarmac racer, he was also an accomplished Rallycross driver...Rallycross is raciing on a closed circut of mixed surfaces, tarmac & gravel...... in 1988 & 1989 he competed in the British Rallycross championship in a Metro 6R4.

I'm not saying that I definitely know it is him, i'm just saying that there is probably high possibility of it being him......

but then again, there might not be just one stig, there maybe a few different drivers playing the role...

I thought it looked like Ken Blocks kind of driving, they were realy pushing that car to its limit, whoever it was it was a 1st class rally driver.

So not Ken Block then


As above, I'd bet a lot of money that were 2 Stigs used. Makes no sense to have a rally driver doing circuit tracks a vast majority of the time etc...

It looked like the Rally feature was filmed back in the summer so that would have been before Ben Collins 'came out' so I would have thought that it would have been him still.

The new stig deff isnt Tiff, as hes the wrong build...

Sabina would be nice.

Vikki Butler Henderson can't drive as well as that.

I would like to think its only 1 stig who does everything, but i gotta agree the idea of 2 or more seems very realistic atm!
