Stig I vs StigII. Which one is the best??
 
Which of the two Stigs is the best one?? I remember that StigI drove the Lamborghini Murcielago in 1.29 m. Then Stig II come along and did it in 1.23.7 ( I think)
That's 6 sec's off and i remember TG saying "we knew it had to be faster as it has so much grip".

SO are they going to test the Zonda and the Koenigsegg again, to take a few sec's off???

Are the lap times made up??

Keep in mind that Stig II drove the Murcielago on a dry track, while Stig I drove it on a soaking wet track---> big difference!!!!!

hmm... didn't know the new stig was that much better.
*and yea, BADMIHAI, that's a good point. i'm glad they're gonna redo the scores to get 'em all on dry pavement, more fair that way.*

i thought i had read people speculating that it's still good 'ol Tiff, but if he improved in time by 5.3 seconds, maybe its not :?

i'm kinda doubting they would make up the test track times honestly, its not like they've got anything to gain from it.

i'm still waiting to see an Enzo, F50, and F40 scores on that board :D

I understand what you guys are saying but i just finished whathing the video and not all the track is wet and it is sunshining when they are filming. And didn't the Zonda set the time in the same conditions?? I think the condtions are the same.

And when you are setting a time your not suppose to powerslide.
Well the Zonda and the Koenigsegg where both very sideways.

Shame that the first Stig is gone. He had the best taste in driving music. The second one listens to some horrible stuff.

I did, just cause I wanted it to be. But it is some Lemans driver, Perry Mitchell... or something like that.

How did the first Stig die anyways? in details.. BBC is very hush hush about that. (of course i know that the actual driver just quit though.)

Der Stig in Black vs der Stig in White ?
It doesn't matter, it's the same bloke :idea:

dylan99 01-15-2004 11:38 AM

To compare both drivers - wich is the best - the white Stig should test cars that the the black Stig has tested under the same conditions. The time set by the white Stig under dry condition with the Murcielago can't be compared with the black Stig. I've heard and read that the Murcielago under wet conditions has more problems even if it has AWD.

I think the white Stig drives a little bit smoother, so the white one is better

BACR 01-15-2004 05:49 PM

about the power slides every car has a different way of handling so there are different friving techniques for each one. so the dtig just died on top gear not in rela life right??

anyways if you seach in google.com for the stig you get a site from the BBC saying it is for definate (or was now unless the white stig is the black) Perry Macarthy an x formula 1 test driver

ferrari550 01-15-2004 05:57 PM

I am pretty sure that stip 1 and stig 2 are the same person.
Posted on jabbasworld a few months ago, the stig (Perry Macarthy) was on a radio show in london and they were asking him about being the top gear stig and was he ever going to give it up??
He said for now he was going to contimue doing it so i think it is still the same person.
I think Top Gear just wanted to add some mix to the show.

ye just a big publicity stunt then that hes dead
