      But Michael did drive his FXX and set a lap as the Stig for that one episode.

    Ben "the Stig" Collins tells the story that the car he drove in this race had a sticking throttle. He said that's why he locked up the brakes in that corner and had to ride the breaks against a full throttle through corners.
