WOW, now that would make some sense, he certainly can drive the wheels off anything.

They did mention Bacardi. Also, they tested the mega rare Ferrari FXX around the Top Gear test track. It shattered the coarse record. Im almost certain Schumacher was driving the Ferrari.

The FXX is Schumachers own car and Ferrari will only let him drive it. That is why he was on the show. The white Stig is on the show since 2002; great yeat by the way :-).

He is still under contract with Ferrari and they will only let him drive Fiat's and he will not have been allowed to drive a Mercedes on the Top Gear circuit. So I think he was a one-time only special quest-Stig.

I am wondering if the Stig normally has those stars on his gloves as well?

I have noticed that the Stig looks like a bigger Stig than in the past.

Hmm.............
