Err, this has been known for ages??!?
He's been in the show (as a "real" person) a few times - racing the evo down the hill, driving the merc that some bloke was trying to land in the back of as two examples.
I think there are a few more but can't remember of the top of my head
Don't think he has ever been an F1 test driver though? The Renault F1 item around the top gear track was Heikki Kovalainen in "Stig" clothing!

I think a driver that knows the track inside out will go faster in an un-familiar car than a driver in a familiar car that doesn't know the track.
Hence the whole point of having the Stig (apart from obvious stuff like the F1 / snowmobile jump). Not sure on the Aston DBR9 driver?

It's where your sinclair spectrum (only the 48k ones) can link up with other speccy owners.
Lots of colour clash but you can look at crude outlines of women with no clothes on.

Anyway another top news item, vinyl is to be replaced with something called a 'cd' or compact disc whereby music is stored 'digitally' onto a small disc

It'll never happen.
You'll be claiming that diesel cars can match the performance of petrol ones next.
