Re: Fifth gear
There have been 2 stigs, teh first was a F1 test driver(I forget his name) but he was replaced when it came out. I don't think anyone knows who teh current one is outside Topgear/BBC. My money too is on him being someone from F1/F3000 or something similar. Although the lap in the F1 car was quite ragged so I don't reckon he was that familiar with it. He does seem very comfortable in closed cars so maybe touring cars or something like that(Le mans style stuff).
It will be good to get TG back, teh balance between the three presenters is spot on and they can bounce stuff off each other so well it keeps you hooked. Add to that some of the crazy stuff they do and its probably made itself the best motoring show evermade and will take some beating.(The episode with the boats was absolute class!)
