      +dustindo I think a bit of both? It was supposed to make us think something like The Stig, at any moment, could be a legendary race car driver.
      But Michael did drive his FXX and set a lap as the Stig for that one episode.

      +dustindo No Michael was never the stig. He came in that show because they were testing one of the Ferrari's that he owned so he was guest starring. The real Stig for a while was actually Ben Collins.

    If the Germans had Sabine driving, James might have been in troublem
