Do some searching on the interwebs for the Transformer Stratos kit car forum. You'll find some good info about the team of guys that built the Stratos the Stig drove. You'll also read about how top Gear staged most of the "problems" with the car, including Stig's spin etc.
Basically, they wrote the segment before they ever drove the car.
I need a Hawk! Maybe I can talk a friend into letting me take over his garage.

oooooo-weee! conspiracy theories abounds!
Just like how it took multiple tries to get the Veyron to beat the F1?
Wet track, mid-rear engine... you could make every car perform that poorly on the track if you were so motivated... I took the segment as pure parody.
Imagine the outcry if they had similarly crucified a 911... a car which would handle even worse in the same situation.
