Haha just reading about whats coming up on this weeks show and
"Damon Hill is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car " 
Surely that's cheating? If he doesn't get a good time I'd be a bit worried Is this the first proper racing driver (pro - not as in jodi kidd / jk) - they've had round the track.
Quite funny since many people thought Stig was Damon

Stig was that perry bloke - but whether it's changed since I don't know?
either way - I remember originally thinking stig = damon, as he's a good mate of jeremy clarkson, was wearing yellow jordon looking gloves in the car, same build, etc etc.
If he doesn't get top spot I will also be worried - though it's not fair really, as they've had several different cars with different engines and generally cars differ slightly in power from engine to engine. Notice all the original people Even clarkson himself were struggling to get 1:54's!
these days people get 1:51's easily.

Original Stig was Perry then they "killed him off" by driving the Jag XJS off the end off the HMS invincible aircraft carrier,
There's been two stigs 1 white helmet, 1 black
I think the latest one is Damon hill, who else has the spare time and could handle a formula 1 car and throw it around the track in 59secs... no matter where the F1 car is driven you still need a fair amount of strength and fitness to drive it flatout

Damons driving style is very differnt to any of the stigs.
Perry Mcaurther was the stig but not any more as far as im aware.
Julian bailey was meant to be something to do with the stig

Stig of the dump?
My old mate Norton is a stig, he and another friend had a fight and they started spitting on each other because Norton wiped blood on the L-plate on his Derbi scrambler.

He will beat the time I recon unless it's raining but if he doesn't it wouldn't suprise me that much it's not as if he's used to racing a shopping car around the track

Whats to say he can't be the Stig and on the show?
They're not both ever shown together and if you're Damon Hill you don't need much tuition anyway.

Also even if they do show him getting 'taught' how to go round the track what's to stop them putting someone of a similar build in the car next to him as he has a helmet on anyway and in that split second no-one will be able to tell the difference
