that is ungodly fast, just imagine how fast Alonso could do it in. As good as the stig is, its not his car, i am sure it can go faster.

There is absolutely nothing in the world that comes close to an F1 car for pure performance; acceleration, handling and braking combined... and especially the sound...

I didn't even know Stig could drive an F1 car. He is quite mysterious remember. If he can even drive an F1 car at the capacity he did, I would think he has had some exposure to F1 in the past - who knows... I do know that you can't just get in an F1 car and drive it at that capacity if you've never driven one before... regardless of how well you can drive a streetcar...

have this video on repeat....

Who is Stig?

I mean, I know he does the laps on Top Gear, but, do we know his identity?
