Since the Stig has been fired from Top Gear no doubt they are working on getting some sort of replacement. This guy Ken Block may just fit the bill I reckon.

Insane driving and well put together.

He's featured a couple of times already ... as himself. Incredible car control certainly, he's tied up in the WRC at the moment so not sure he'd be the man for the job.

My vote would be Sabine Schmidt!

a nice vid, but he needs to work more on the precision element of his driving... too far from the static objects, tapping the wall twice before 1min 35, leaving the circuit a few times... just not consistant enough...



any top class autotester could show him a few tricks ;)

The stig was ok, but at least he was better than the presenters who were crap altogether. :yep:

Come on now they may be knowledgeable about cars, but they aren't the best drivers in world, even though they think they are.

And they never claim to be, unless it's done tongue in cheek. It's well known that 90% of the footage of "them" driving it's actually some of member of the TG staff behind the wheel.

Me too! But I think they also said there is a possibility of not even replacing the Stig

That has been mentioned, not sure how official that is though
