renault f1 on top gear

Many of you have seen the top gear track where the Stig tests each car. Best time I've seen was 1'19 by the Ferrari Enzo. Until now

Heikki Kovalianen (Renault's test driver) actually admitted that he was driving it as the Stig in that episode. It doesn't get a whole lot better then him. Maybe if Alonso was driving you would be happy?

Re: renault f1 on top gear

Back when we had the black Stig, its was former F1 driver named Perry McCarthy. There are all sorts of rumors about who the present one is (Tiff, Damon Hill, Ben Collins (F3), or Julian Bailey), while nobody but the Top Gear leadership knows for sure. There is no reason to doubt that 90% of the time the Stig has been the same person, not just some random driver.

Tiff? Really?

I find it weird that Tiff would be the Stig, if he works on a competing program now. (5th Gear)

Re: renault f1 on top gear

HOLY BEJESUS...i want able to watch it at school (damn school secutiry) and i was at the girls house after work yesterday.... a full 20sec faster than an enzo on a semi wet track.

That just puts how fast F1 cars are even more into perspective.

Re: renault f1 on top gear

Nascar i imagine wouldnt me much better, if at all, than an Enzo. More about raw power and weight on the left side ofthe vehicle...lol.
