Everybody who was watching the first episode of season 13 of Top Gear yesterday, was in for a very big surprise. 'The Stig' was reaveled in the shape of World Champion Michael Schumacher. Earlier this year, the British newspapers unmasked the Stig as Ben Collins, however it is believed that the white driver is played by several drivers.
Notice how the top car was the caparo T1 and the FXX was 7 seconds faster.KiwiF1 wrote:I expect them to surely take it down as it is not road legal. Heck they even took the Caparo T1 (was that its name, i dont remember?) off cause even though it was road legal it was not within reason to actually use it as one (couldnt get over speed bumps and so on).ernos5 wrote:and now the top gear leader board is headed by another Ferrari =D>
Schumi being stig is for sure a joke, but it was an incredible moment for sure (EDIT: two for sures, im becoming an F1 driver if seems). I noticed during the Fxx lap the driving to be different to the stigs, it was on another level, simply flawless. And for sure, that was because the driver is in fact on another level.
I believe that the car at the top of the board was a Gumpert : I remember mentioning the Gumpert to my girlfriend at the time of the live broadcast ...wrcsti wrote:Notice how the top car was the caparo T1 and the FXX was 7 seconds faster.KiwiF1 wrote:I expect them to surely take it down as it is not road legal.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd need to check.

I think the other drivers used a different "cheap" car.tommylommykins wrote:It's a shame that Schumi didn't elect to actually do a proper lap in the Suzuki Liana to compete with the other F1 drivers: I'd have liked to have seen where he would have come in... It doesn't sem like it's a new thing though...
