The video is hosted on the rapidshare site... I know it's a bit annoying, but if you haven't seen it you must download it.

i think it would be so much better if they got the new stig to go out in the top few supercars that the old stig went in as when he re-did the murcielago he chopped like 2 seconds of old stigs time. i well think the koenigsegg is faster than the F430, but according to TG its not

maybe the f430 has an advantage on the tg track? maybe its better suited to the track

Whilest the 'new' Stig's times do seem to be consistently faster I'm not one that immediately buys into the "'new' Stig is better" line.
Different days, different conditions.
AND different tyres, differnet fuels and possibly different setups.
Things move on with time and it's jsut possibel that the newer Murc WAS 2 secs a lap faster on the day regardless.
Top racing drivers are well-practised at finding the best lines and lapping till they've got the optimum.

I would have loved to have seen the Ferrari test driver that JK was keeping up with do some laps, see what times he could have got.

The test driver was show-boating it.
Just as Needell does when he does his laps on 5th gear.
Quite often you see FAR too much initial input to the wheel, clearly intended to make the rear step out and lose traction.
Great for the TV coverage and JCs ego, but ........ :)

Epitome?
Anyway - why'd they just chuck the time?
What happened to the board of non-legal car times that the F1 car and Radical SR3 went on?
