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?

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.

      Boxes of oil?

      Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.

      Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
