Well probably not quite true – but – there is a significant driver (identity yet to be revealed) who will bring a huge amount of skill and set up knowledge to the team.

Hmmm…..wonder who this could be??? I have heard he will make a debut at the NRT.
Or might he (or she) be seen around Brisbane testing secretly over the next few weeks???

She could or then again he might not. 😆 😆
The NRT would be a suitable event to make a debut at – hope you’re right cause Scott and I will be at that one as well – we’ll be able to watch the action.LikeLike

If he’s been referred to as the “STIG” he has to be MOD. How about JP, Shapo or Dooley?

Big Mac – you’re right.
Vazzo – haven’t you watched the real Stig – he does laps in the slow (540) medium (stock) and fast (mod) cars so our Stig could be from any class. Dooley – is he back ?
The Reaper – not necessarily
and some say “leonerd” – but not usually a second time 😆 😆 😆
Our Stig is not just a good driver but also a car tuner, preparer and even ……… no that would be too much of a clue.LikeLike

Come on you guys. The stig will be doing testing in secret for Team Action r/c, and passing those setups through the Schuie Camp. Look for the driver in the pits with the helmet on. 🙄

Vazzo 💡 It must be you. 😕 Your the only Schuie driver who hasn’t upgraded to a M I-4 yet. 😆 😆

😆 I think Heavy mentioned something about talent Tony….something I clearly dont have 😆
But seriously I think Ill upgrade when the Mi6 comes out and hopefully it’s the “James Bond Worlds Edition”LikeLike
-
To keep faith with the Top Gear people – who never reveal the true identity of the Stig – we will have to be the same.
I may have a Mi4 going cheap after the Nats as Scott and I will need 2 cars for that event but will probably drop back to 1 car after the event, so if anyone is a bit short of $ and can wait till November 24th they might get a good deal, built and tuned by Scott and done one event only in Super Stock.LikeLike
