I'm starting to doubt it. Here's some pics.

Problem is he was driving a 1 million pound Ferrari, which i think is his own car, cause he was the only one to get a black FXX. So wouldn't be surprised if its a set up and just a once off.

Killed the lap record though :-)

8 stigs hmmm, makes sense different one for when another is busy, also I vaguely remember an episode where Lewis Hamilton beat the stig in something (can't have been schuey at the time, I refuse to believe it was schuey in that episode!)

I like the theories of multiple stigs. One theory suggests that it was the car company factory test drivers who would race the cars around the tracks - this would make a lot of sense. Who would know how to drive a car better than a factory test driver?

To be honest, I don't think the stig is anyone ridiculously famous.

They don't need him to be... All they require is a talented driver (of whom there are PLENTY in the UK) who can bang out consistent lap times for comparisons sake.

Come on guys. Its a beat up because the new series is about to start, simple ratings grab

Series has already started 1st episode aired early this morning, the other thing is that's actually his own Ferrari there is more than one black one but his car has no stripes whereas everyone else got stripes (white racing stripes) plus he got special wheels and special interior which wasn't available to anyone except him, plus the fact that they had made all 29 of these cars and #30 was specially made for schuey, why should he let another person drive it when he himself a f1 legend can do it?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
