Benjamin Mills Several different pilots have been “the Stig” in time including Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher before his nasty accident. Actually the lap absolute record is still his performed on his very own LaFerrari FXX-K I believe.
@@ClaudeMagicbox I don't think Damon hill was ever the stig for any of the laps, possibly when black stig was there but almost certainly not when Ben Collins was doing it. Mind you, having seen the murcielago lap that did a 1:23.7, I thought it couldn't have been the stig cause his line into the 1st corner was too wide and he did the lap quite slowly so... maybe that was Damon
@@stpbasss3773 Buddy...I'm 100% sure in this episode (ruclips.net/video/HIa6NElzUtQ/видео.html) the Stig was Michael Schumacher for two very simple reasons: A) The LaFerrari FXX doing the lap was HIS, he owned it B) In the end of the show the Stig takes off his helmet...and it's fucken Michael ;-)
Good old days?? It's just something you like... reality pretty much proves that a great automatic or paddles linked gearbox of a supersport car is way better than a human (faster changes)!
The Nissan GTR is one of those rare miracle cars, faster than a Zonda around a circuit, reasonably affordable considering the performance on offer and with enough practicality to use daily. I was on a track day with a couple of them shortly after they came out and they way they dig in on a corner exit and just disappear is something else to behold.
i 100% agree but its disappointing they haven't aged very well, they were groundbreaking when released for a few years. they kept up with the fastest supercars and were much much cheaper. Now in order to even be considered in performance tests with the supercars of today you need the NISMO GTR and that car is 200,000... not such a bargain. and its performance just isnt above the pack anymore. its kinda on the side with NSX and Audi R8 :/ i put them in a category of "Needs new innovation" Porsche was in that category then they released the new GT2 RS same with mercadies then they released the AMG GTR and pro edition. every brand is stepping up. lambo SVJ/Viper ACR/ The GTR needs something fresh with an all time high performance like a GTR NISMO Track or something and make it run consistent sub 7 nurburgring laps. it would revive the brand and that model if you asked me.
@@maybelive765 who cares?! The Zonda is a masterpiece, not just a car, comparing it to a Gtr is a nonsense, I think that a lot of people don't care about lap times when thinking about the Zonda
Achille Conte why are you arguing with me im on your side 😂😂 the original comment is the one who thinks its reasonable to compare a boring to drive dct japanese car (that looks and sounds like a hot wheels representation of its past) vs a piece of excitement and art on 4 wheels... im just quickly mentioning that the zonda f wasnt really designed with its full potential being tapped. Its like a Carrera GT you know? Sure its fast, but it was never meant to be record-breakingly fast... meaning its not defined nor was it engineered to show off its balls. Hence why these cars kept good value whilst other supercars have significantly lost theirs (among other reasons).
Original comment poster here :) I don't think the two are comparable and agree the Zonda is a work of art compared to the GTR, however the fact remains, the GTR was faster than this version of the Zonda, if lap time is your only criteria then the GTR is faster. My point was, that for the money the GTR is pretty incredible, I doubt very much its boring to drive and I'd wager anyone who has a GTR is getting more use out of it day to day than someone with a Zonda.The Zonda as you guys say is a work of art and a very lovely one at that. The GTR is a workhorse, but as workhorses go its an incredibly capable one. Either way we are all car fans so whatever you have get out and drive it :)
That Arial Atom is fast AF! Love how the Stig man handles these cars.This is how a super car company should showcase their vehicles in a video or commercial. Anyone can produce performance numbers because most people dont know enough to argue but actually showing how well the vehicles can perform under preferable conditions and driven by professionals would show anyone what's up.
@@freedommachine4633 Hell yea. Add David Hobbs and Steve Machete. Perhaps mike joy and Rick Benjamin. Those guys just have a passion for motorsports. Arguably the best combo, Bestwick Parsons and Dallenbach. Those guys were an awesome announce team back in the original NBC days.
After what the McLaren Senna did at Car and Driver Magazine's 2019 Lightning Lap, I would LOVE to see what the Senna would do in the Stig's hands around the Top Gear track!
The Stig was sad to see it get beaten by the Egg though. It was a beautiful car (and still is). Horacio Pagani, ever the perfectionist, was personally there and had it polished and what not for the filming.
Another British car to post a good time is the Ultima GTR on road tyres - 1.12.8. Type in Ultima GTR Top Gear to watch. It also did it on slicks at 1.09.9 type in Top Gear Lap Record Ultima GTR 720. And yes, it can get over speed humps.
I miss the old timer top gear. My favorite clarkson 😊 . The most fav episode is when Michael Schumacher in that blue car doing some crazy stuff in the track. But the car that stay forever in my ❤️ that top gear zonda r time track 😘
Memory s a funny thing. When #1 came up, the Ariel Atom instantly crossed my mind. Bunch of cool cars in there. Since watching a recent video on older vs newer performance tyres, it would be interesting to have a remake of this with the latest tyres.
Wow, this video is 10 years old. I remember the Ferrari FXX….or whatever one is based off the Enzo did a 1:10 something. It was first place in that season beating second place by 7 seconds.
The rules i always understood of the track is . Car is to be road registered ie a road car secondly ,the car to go over a sleeping policeman . Firstly .That not allowing the caparo is. B S The caparo is fully road registered/road legal so classed as a road car . Secondly its got all adjustable suspension so the height of the car can be adjusted higher so it could go over a sleeping policeman . Its not much diffrent to the ariel atom tbh 👍
The Caterhams lap is the best. It doesn`t mather what the clock says, the stig smiled so hard, while thrashing it around the corners, it actually bent his helmet.
This makes me a bit nostalgic. I mean, I lived those days and I already thought about 'the good ol'days' when back then, so I didn't think of it as anything great in particular, but looking back now, those days were fine as well. I didn't think I would, but I miss the 2000s and even the early 2010s.

This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for... old school Top Gear’s top ten best Stig laps, and you didn’t disappoint... thank you!!
It’s amazing seeing these 2000s supercars, before double clutch gearboxes were common and super sticky road legal tyres.
I love how the fact that the Stig listens to stereo in all different languages adds a touch more of anonymity.
He even learned Italian and listened to morse code in them
Super cars with manual transmission, the good old days 😊

Lmao fast & furious
Eurobeat is best

Amazing driving skills shown in that Ariel Atom
Right? Imagine the time Stig would have made on a dry track. That was a wet time.
He had it pinned! That was incredible driving!
This video was made in 2012, so new viewers, that why some cars you seen past 2012 wasn't in here
i mis the lap of the ferrari fxx of micheal schumacher
Imagine having to explain this.
How about Zonda R
HA Enoch Zonda R isn’t road legal
@@fsfaludi , nope. he just did the one show as a publicity stunt.
That Veyron launch was fucking insane
I love that the vehicles with air brakes, as they show you where the Stig is braking and by how much, which was quite deep into the corners.

love Clarksons commentary, especially the "Shark in a funny hat."
After what the McLaren Senna did at Car and Driver Magazine's 2019 Lightning Lap, I would LOVE to see what the Senna would do in the Stig's hands around the Top Gear track!
Would hold the lap record easily but still be limited by the 245 front tire. I don't get it, a car like that needs min 265 fronts or even 275.
never mind that, but all the newer faster better performing versions of the same cars.....like the koeniggsiigngginnahhdgg 1/one.
Muskoka Mike koenigsegg
@@ConnorLHW2004 that's what I said lol....(I used the Top Gear spelling hahaha)
Cars have gotten a LOT faster in last seven years - Senna would easily crush these cars. That Nissan time woke up everyone up and they went to work!
11:49 And to think he did the lap in the Atom on a wet track.
Never be the same again without hilarious Mr. Clarkson comments 😁
Wait, the $100k GT-R was the same speed as the $4 million Pagani? Well done Nissan, well done.
Great video nonetheless.
And also I has 4 seats
Stig is an amazing pilot no matter if he was schumi or not, guy is a maestro of horsepower!
The sound of the ccx is amazing
"Stig playing the wheel like a saxophone there, Chicago..."
Subtle word play there, Jeremy.
Kinda impressed with that Lambo, and the sheer handling of the Mclaren.
I drove one of those Mclarens at a track day, honestly feels like a gocart, insane.
“Like a shark in a funny hat” lol 😂
Crazy how unstable the Zonda looked.
The Stig was sad to see it get beaten by the Egg though. It was a beautiful car (and still is). Horacio Pagani, ever the perfectionist, was personally there and had it polished and what not for the filming.
Can't but that much of a perfectionist, it smoked.
unstable often means its fun as heck to drive around the track.
@@srinitaaigaura dont you think it would beat it on maybe a tighter track or something because it weighs only like 2700 pounds
Paganis are psychopaths
Aventador looks so cool!

So glad to see all the manuals.
So glad to see the Atom at the top.
To think I've driven that McLaren is insane. I forgot how seriously quick it was on track.
I remember the Ferrari FXX being the fastest by a wide margin but they didn’t officially count it because it’s not road legal
It never was a road car thats why.
Another British car to post a good time is the Ultima GTR on road tyres - 1.12.8. Type in Ultima GTR Top Gear to watch.
It also did it on slicks at 1.09.9 type in Top Gear Lap Record Ultima GTR 720.
And yes, it can get over speed humps.
So it’s a legal lap time then.
Joe Mott Not recorded by TG but to same rules on same track.
Excellent!! Now, let’s have the same, pitting cars against each other like the Citron 2cV, the VW Beetle, Yugo…you get it🤣

sad he's not a smooth operator

Awesome video! I think the Ferrari FXX did it in 1.10 which I think should be on this list too
1:16 was the mp 4 mclaren can imagine what times the 570, 620 and 720s will do
Zaf Khan the 675LT did a 1:13.7, whilst the 600LT did a 1:15.1.
That Noble had the same engine as a Volvo XC90. A Yamaha V8, 4.4 litre from memory.
I think i saw the stig not sideways for some of the atom v8 lap
alternate tital : the best driver in the world gets hired to drive some of the best cars
Nice bonus at the end 👌
3:50 that sound 😍
That atom v8 has a really sharp front end setup even though there's barely any weight on the front axel

Love that car! I havnt seen it for years
I cry watching this remembering how long ago
You know it is old Top Gear when the Atom is top of the leader board...
He man handled that atom
It would be amazing if repeated by the newest generations of these cars !!

Those Atoms handle like a bag of S++T, god knows how that was the quickest. The Stig !!
Everyone gangsta until someone whips out their GT-R R35 out on the track
You can clearly see the difference downforce makes here it is great
that go-kart atom was amazing.
The gtr is the best 3.8 v6 competitive with big engines 👌
"Like a shark in a funny hat" was always my favorite quote from all of the Top Gear episodes.
nice work
Sleeping policeman, the real threat to every car enthusiast
A common point for each cars, was that everyone of them is available in TDU2 😍
TDU is a great game
The Caparo T1 done this lap in 1:10.6 !! Road legal car too.
7:47 Airbrake ;-) phantastic and it still works!!!
If you have ever heard a zonda in real life its something else like a turbo charged lexus lfa sound
This is older lap and first lap belong to Ferrari FXX 💪
Best bang fpr the buck - GT-R, also most stable, crazy!
That GT-R is just a beast. Nothing else went around with so much aggression.
Two British cars take spots 1&2 👏
caterham missing
that atom was a proper beast.but its just a go kart,all the same,we will never get behind the wheels of these exotic cars.and dream.
Does anyone know the Reg# of the Boeing 747 at the far end of the runway?
Ariel atom is a tube chasis cheat code
You missed the FXX and the Zonda R, both quicker than the Caparo
I can't see how anything will ever beat the McLaren MP4 nor the Ariel Atom tbf :O
They say that the best way to cure hiccups is to go for a ride with the Stig. If your nerves can stand. Would scare the life out of you ha ha 😂😂😂😎
