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?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
