I just finished watching the first episode of the season, and I have to say that it is thus far, my favorite episode of Top Gear EVER!
Now we know who the Stig is...lol.
That lap of the FXX was simply blistering...I cannot believe a car can move that quickly, and man, is it sinister...
Heh. That was a blinding lap, wasn't it?
Mind you, I guess given who that Stig turned out to be, it'll probably explain some of the seven second gap to the Gumpert. At least one second just might have been attributable to who was driving .

I loved the race between the train, Jag and Vincent bike.
And the other two poking fun at May is always great. "Do you sometimes wear this hat, and nothing else?"
You could just tell how fast the FXX was going to be by watching that lap. God, that thing is impressive!
I find it funny that sites like Jalopnik and Autoblog are still acting like that person is really the Stig. It was a cool stunt, though, and one of the few times I actually watched the interview.
And yes, great race. "Actually, the Black Shadow used to come with a big bloke to help start it for you"...

Dude, The Stig is mostly Ben Collins, with occasional ringers brought in.
