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?

      I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.
