Regardless of who "Stig" will be this year (somebody that can REALLY drive will be piloting the car on the handling), I am arrogantly confident that car and driver will trounce all!
This post will self destruct on May 26th!

It matters not, if its not you then its a cheat 
by the way did anyone take on board my idea for the overall best car? i.e. the fastest combination of 1/4 and handling? i.e. the positions attained in both disceplines to create an overall champ? seems like a no brainer to me!!!

Having said all that, to be honest I think those that are considered to be tuner entries could easily be decided beforehand - we did this last year when we were offering the prize for fastest non-tuner lap of the handling circuit.
Have to be honest though and say right now that I would fully expect that any privateer entry would *have* to be driven in *all* disciplines by the owner. Sorry Shaun!
Just my 25p (women need to speak more

PS *If* I had my own Subaru I would whoooooop you all!

Whilst this is a banter thread, I have to make a serious comment as I agree whole-heartedly with what Liz has said.
I think it would be very unfair on the regular scooby enthusiast for non-tuner entrants to utilise the skills of a more professional/ talented driver. This could cause discontent in the community if that happened and a car won that was quite frankly not expected to.
From the tuners point of view, then it would definately work, as the event showcases their work and why not have a professional in the hot seat.
But for the general community and regular enthusiast, there should be rules that prevent this. Otherwise, what is to stop me or anyone else utilising the services of a professional race driver for £500 a day plus expenses, just to try and win an event. Where's the fun in that? This could be the downfall in a very popular event.

Evo North,
You sure about that.....there is more than one webmaster!
And the other webmaster (me) beat one of your Evo colleagues at last years Tuner Grand Prix.... Hensteads Motorsports Yellow 550+bhp Track Prepared EVO. See practice makes all the difference!
Terry,

Dill,
Only one person around here is right...... and he is typing this!
Anyway... Terry is only coming out with all this, because even after all this modification work has been done, he will still get shown up by a better car and driver on the day!
