Aussie Stig! Who Is It?

[89CAL]

Trent from Punchbowl FTW!

lol

Oh the ratings they would have then......

[MLCrisis]

Its John Howard.

Nah - it's Kevin Rudd. Haven't you been watching Rove?

[Kel]

I'm tempted to change my guess to someone who has spent alot of time in a porsche after tonight's show...

[mad082]

well you have to take into account that the gt2 is much lighter (145kg) and more powerful (37kw more) than the 911 turbo (and did you see the size of the feet on the back of it!!!), and comes standard with carbon brakes and is only rwd (so doesn't understeer quite as much as the turbo), so it was always going to hammer the 911 turbo round the track. and the gtr was speed limited, so until they can test 1 without speed limiting we won't know how they compare, on that track at least.

but didn't the guy doing the test of the gtr say that the one he was driving wasn't speed limited? if so, why didn't they put that 1 round the track?

[evil_weevil]

Yeah I wondered why they didnt use it on the "test track" - I mean, they drove it 300km north to that stretch of road!

But not to the test track?

[Mr. Keets]

Jason Bargwanna

Yes

SOME SAY.....that he used to race r32 GTR's at Bathurst and has recently retired from V8 supercars !!! ;-)

Car killer...mmm dont think so

I finally got home and watched my first ep last night. So wrong in so many ways. Who is that plonker doing Clarksons job? What a try hard. The show looks weak, the narrative is disjointed, what was that "what were they thinking" segment? and that R35 story lacked resolution. It's crap....Ï see some "retooling"in the future

[Beer Baron]

yes reTOOLing indeed!

[mad082]

well there is only 2 week left before sbs air season 11 of UKTG, so that is 1 episode of this dribble before we get a decent program back.

[sensfan]

If they actually tested different cars to UK TG it would be worth watching, but the stupid thing is they don't. They test the same cars (even with the episode delay TG UK still tests it first) and are far worse commentators.

I would say it was a half arsed version of TK UG but thats too much of a compliment.

[napower]

i could so imagine it bein mark skaife since he has retired n all but still has abit of lead foot in him 2 squeeze out before he turns into a wrinkly prune.. so yeah i reckon sir skaife

[mad082]

well skaife hasn't actually retired yet. he retires at the end of the year, so he would still have all his v8 commitments. plus it doesn't look tall enough to be him.

[hrd-hr30]

anyone who saw the way Courtney and Murph threw the 'bog standard car' around should now plainly see the Aussie Stig is not a professional driver, or even a good club level driver. So forget your ideas of him being a current or ex V8 Supercar driver! I don't know who he is, but he ain't fast. Has the Stig driven the Mazda 2?

[mad082]

how cool did it look when murph slid the car through the chicane towards the end of his lap!

[FineLine]

Its Roger Cordia.

[wisey18]

Its Roger Cordia.

Bwahahaha. Yep it's him for sure!

[mad082]

it's too slow to be him, LOL. if it was him every car would be lapping well under 1 minute, LOL

[Shell]

and he wouldnt be able to keep it a secret, he would have bragged it on every forum he's not banned from... if such a forum exists lol

[Duncan]

nonono it's mines_datsun!

[NYTSKY]

I have been told the Bates brothers were sighted at Camden airport when filming one of their track segments
