Stig and 370Z Secret Lap
 

Came across this on you tube, not sure if its old.
YouTube - Top Gear Season 14 Secret Spy Nissan 370z Stig's Lap HQ

nice find and here

What's he doing there? It sounds like he's sitting on the rev limiter at times and he keeps looking down at the gearbox. This must be some hoax Stig who dressed up in the suit to try driving the Z...

he looks down alot... not good.

this may have been a practice lap as well guys... and or just a joke lol

It's obvious he's making sure his nizmo shift knob didn't fall off during his shifts lol!

maybe the Stig was just confused about the rev matching lol. But i do agree that was not the Stig, unless that was the very first time he drove the car.

He only looked down twice , Give the stig a Brake.

^ +1, also you all think he only does one lap in a car? they do a few laps and get the best time out of them.

How come nobody is obsessed with top gear australia lap video?

LOL - what you guys think the stig only does one lap in each car? It was him, at the same track, doing what he's supposed to be doing. None of that will really make the cut anyway. Most likely a test/prep for hot lap.

You think a professional driver with a full face helmet would EVER look down at the shifter position? Please...

yes.

isnt there a number in the gauge cluster that tells you what gear you are in... iono ... fishy

i like his helmet lol

I'm assuming they filmed it so they could make a joke about him being confused by the syncrorev but decided not to use it for the show.

All i know is that I don't hear any bagpipes. :driving:

Bingo! This is where my money goes. I can hear Jeremy narrating it right now...

I suppose they look at their feet too?

Off with his head

Dude what dont you get, you werent looking at a finished product, it was at the same track, same effects, you can even see the camera at the end where they finish each lap and he looks over at the camera.

It was either them setting up to make a joke about the rev match or you were witnessing his very first lap and he's just getting settled. Geez, REALLY, not that hard to believe AT ALL.

Watch all the episodes, there is tons of footage where you can hear him overly spinning the tires and hitting the rev limiter etc etc etc etc etc.

Also, think EVO's or STi's, alot of them have controls around the shifter for all sorts of gadgetry, and it looks like he was just trying to make sure he's settled in with all that. You act like this guy will run the first lap with every car he touches perfectly.

But then again, you sound like you believe everything Mr. Clarkson says about the super human Stig. Remember he's not Chuck Norris.

Nice find! :tup:

I don't hear any Morse code.:confused:
