The Stig is an amateur racing driver with 46 recorded laps across 42 vehicles on LapMeta—nearly one-to-one ratio indicating systematic broad vehicle sampling approach. The username references the mysterious test driver from BBC's Top Gear television program—anonymous white-suited figure who set lap times around the Top Gear test track while never speaking or revealing identity. The character became iconic symbol of pure driving expertise divorced from personality or celebrity, representing objective vehicle evaluation through systematic testing protocols.
His LapMeta data shows extraordinary concentration with all 46 laps at CCW configuration. Despite sampling 42 different vehicles, the absolute CCW focus demonstrates systematic vehicle comparison methodology—extensive automotive sampling at familiar venue for controlled evaluation identical to Top Gear's approach. This pattern is characteristic of professional automotive testing: diverse vehicles at standardized circuit for objective comparative analysis. The 42-vehicle portfolio represents substantial automotive exposure spanning diverse platforms, manufacturers, and market segments. The Stig username choice suggests enthusiast who appreciates anonymous objective vehicle assessment prioritizing data over ego. With 46 laps across 42 vehicles all at CCW configuration, The Stig exemplifies systematic comparative methodology honoring namesake's philosophy of pure driving expertise through standardized testing protocols enabling objective automotive understanding.
In Series 28 of Top Gear, Chris Harris reviewed the brand new Ariel Atom 4 before The Stig flung it around a very wet Top Gear test track achieving a somewhat modest time of 1:25.3. So, we promised to run the Atom in the dry. And here's the result: a 1:16.0. Now... that's better.
