That's what I was thinking, you don't just let anybody have a go in one of them and he knew what he was doing!

Why did they put an Evo up against the Audi Quatro? Would it not have been more pertinent to have used a Subaru which has been far more successful in the WRC? If my knowledge of WRC is obviously poor (which I freely admit to), please educate me!

It's because they wanted the showroom car to win

I`d heard he is the test driver for the Reno F1 team, which would explain the Reno F1 car being driven around the track by the stig himself!

is that fact?

personally my opinion was john Palmer..... That would explain why the WR1 did so bad on the track. Surely a school child could have driven it better than that, if they didn't have a grudge against the sidc.

Anyway if it was this imposter, then how come he looked just like the Stig?

It's an old story, probably leading to a locked thread

But he's probably on the list for driving an F1 car.

Well done to them for keeping it secret
