Top Gear - Stig tests F1 car

Heikki Kovalainen (the Renault F1 test driver) admitted to driving the Renault R24 F1 car around the track in the 2004 series, clothed as the Stig.

Is that the one ??
 
In most of the vintage events, where all of the open wheeler big boys run together, the Champcars are still faster than a F1 car, but the F1 cars have a better sound, (my favorite sounding engine is the NA Judd V10 powered ones).

I run about a 2:39 @ Road America (4.1 mile track) and a Champcar does it in 1:39, a full minute faster per lap! :eek:

Dario Franchiti holds this track record time.

ALMS Audi R8 is about 1:49

Toyota Atlantic about 1:59

As far as anyone knows, Juan Montoya was the ONLY driver to go flat out without lifting through the infamous kink.
