AFAIR, when the DBR1 raced around the Top Gear circuit, it was Darren Turner driving, dressed as Darren Turner.

Good lord - I can understand the Beeb being all mysterious about who the stig is, but why on earth Joe Public would be coy about saying who the driver is if they really know - I must be missing the point entirely....wtf does it matter (she says with the benefit of copious quantities of wine).  |

I liked the comparison between the family car and the ASCARI.
British built and I want one but must be RHD.
Enjoyed the BMW in the 24hrs. Just shows how difficult endurance races are.

Because the guys who have been the Stig are not supposed to admit to it, but I think we've discussed the options at length before anyway haven't we? I'm not sure anyone's being coy! Neil Cunningham Heiki Kovil ....(however you spell it!) for the Renault F1 Ben Collins Darren Turner Perry McCarthy (who allegedly was in for the Britcar 24 hours) There are more names that I've forgotten and I'm sure many more that I don't know of - there really are a number of drivers who get drafted in for the occasion. |

I've seen them driving the DBR9, but sadly missed this classic run. How did the old one do?  |

Hi all
In the 24hr race the other day, with the BMW, there was a German flag against the stig's name on the window...

You will need to be quick as i read on ten tenths that the Ascari factory is shutting down. Fantastic car, worth clearing out the garage for I think |
