By the way, have you seen the camera shots of the test track? As far as i have seen, there are no camera angles on the tire walls, as well as no ground shots they use for Top Gear. Most angles are overhead, and covers 2 or 3 corners.
 
i thought the tyre wall had the correct camera view...in the first trailer where they introduced the test track...and the white lambo and another car whizz past the tyre wall like on the actual programme.
 
Haven't seen alot of them, but I do hope the replay camera views mimic what we see for camera views on the track.

Yeah that's true i remember seeing that, the E3 trailer right?
 
Ben Collins... RML Driver, and Le Mans Series LMP2 champion. It's nice to finally realise how talented he really is, but I miss him being raised by wolves, having a digital face, and having a left nipple the shape of the Nurburgring. Oh, and once being Kidnapped by Michael Schumacher so he could drive the Ferrari FXX LOL

Ben Collins has a small brain...

I was having a discussion regarding Stig-gate w/a friend and, to me, Ben Collins is a moron. The character of 'the Stig' is worth more $$$ than a stupid book, even for Collins.

If he were to write a book, why not write one as The Stig? Talk about growing up w/a webbed buttocks, fav raw pork recipes, and your 2 facts about ducks. Imagine a fictional autobiography of the Stig, The Stig Chronicles, and to really throw people for a loop - offer an audio book in morse code. Have fun w/it and release a book every other season...the weirder & funnier the better. Go on Oprah, stare at her large non-webbed buttocks, and be a f'n Stig.

There's too much Ben Collins/BBC could have done with this and the masses would have ate it up.

Sorry, but 'The Stig' is more interesting than Ben Collins...
 
I agree with you completely. Write a book from The Stig's perspective, and personality, not as the persona under the helmet, and BBC would back that in a heartbeat. Problem is, seems like he felt like a nobody under the mask. Pity he signed that contract before realizing that......

That would EASILY be a hit and I would totally buy it. :D
 
The (white) Stig is awesome, and I looked forward to every one of his Power Laps... but this Youtube quote made me chuckle:

"Some say that he'll sign anything without reading it, and has no understanding of the word "non-disclosure". All we know is, he's out of a job!"
 
Seeing as the Stig has been different drivers, and as someone else pointed out online lap times should eclipse the real times. It would make things interesting if PD had their own Stig for in game lap times. An unknown person who's at the top of the Sim racing community setting fast times for us to beat

Well we've seen some footage associated with The Stig Challenge, and it looked like we get to race against the Stig on course with him. If so, I think we could see ALOT of realistic car comparison races (EVO vs. STi, Ferrari vs. Lamborghini, M3 vs. C63 AMG, etc). These would be tons of fun.

This is a brilliant idea! Way better than those Chuck Norris jokes.
 
sorry if this has been mentioned but wouldnt it be fun to create a private lobby and turn the penalty levels off so you could have a crazy eight race last person still running wins.
 
I think that of course people are going to post a better lap time than the Stig. Why?

Because everyone will have a million attempts at it, and narrow their times, micro-second by micro-second until they find the right line, and eventually beat the Stig.

Whereas the Stig, how many laps in that Suzuki dog box would he have done?

Now if you were to beat the Stig's time like after 5-10 laps, that would be something.
 
if anyones interested i made a pic list of the stigs lap times

itll be interesting to see how close you can get. although it wont be too accurate as the game cant be 100% to life and theres no fear of ruining a super expensive car if things go wrong
 
It's a matter of reality vs. simulation as well. We can push the car past its limits with no consequences. We have a restart button. The only car that had a restart button on the TGTT was the Koenigsegg CCX, and that was a VERY expensive restart button.
 
Love the Stig farm! That's awesome.

Also I just wanted to add a thought, maybe the Stig challenge will be set out like the Nurb challenge in GTPSP? Trying out the different sections before doing the final challenge of the whole course perhaps?
