Ex-Stig and Drivetribe host Ben Collins returns to the Top Gear Test Track at Dunsfold to try and beat the lap time that de-throned him as the fastest Stig. Can he get the Ariel Atom 4R around the Top Gear Test Track faster than the Atom V8?

Yeah that hub area needs to have twice the material atleast, but my guess is it's the heat and the lateral g's that stig put it through it just couldn't cope with. Happend around the tires which is why stig kept getting loose there. The grip probably was there but the wheel wasn't.
@SKYWURX

That's pretty scary to be honest. No way it should start cracking at the hub unless you smash a curb side on. Carbon doesn't give much warning so Ben's lucky the wheel didn't depart entirely.

The new one is less power and more weight. The aero might be more efficient, but also might be less as well. If the new one had the same power and weight with the better aero it'd likely be faster. Would be interesting if they could get one of the V8's like used to set the record. At least that way it should be more driver vs driver.

The county council want to turn that place into a massive housing estate, have done for many years. So far no luck for them due to local opposition. Also there used to be, in the old Top Gear days, a 9 hole golf course on the site, which I played on a few times. Really lucky if you hit the track - you could hit 350 yard drives! Unfortunately I believe the developers had that shut down many years ago.

Why did Willman try to stop the V8 having that last push?
@simondale3980
@simondale3980 2 дня назад
willman did it because he couldnt have the old stig being faster than the new one, it would have made TG look bad i guess.

​@@simondale3980Regarding the lap times, I believe there's more to it. The track times weren't intended to showcase the fastest possible laps a car could achieve. The show lacked the resources and time to finely tune each vehicle and continuously drive until no further improvements in lap times were possible. The times we saw represented the best they could achieve with limited effort. While it's true that any of these times could potentially be improved upon, doing so would defeat the original purpose.

What we need is "Stig" in the Suzuki to beat Barricello's time.

So, it's made for the track but the wheels start delaminating after a few hard laps. Right...

Still absolutely insane that he's only 0.7 off a car with more HP, less weight and a higher top speed, that's a proper flex right there... He'd be putting in 1:13s in the V8 I'm sure.

Stiggy attempting records in a t-shirt instead of a fire suit. How does he get his pants on over those boulders? That's Stig power!

Maybe that was the problem. The white helmet is worth an extra 8 tenths.

The wing seems less than optimized. Get Vulcan Alpha on the case.

Kind of a bad look for the Atom- one day at the track doing exactly what the car was designed for and the wheel is breaking?!

The trouble is, Ben is a lot heavier than what the stig was🐷

so the arrogance from one person demanding he not do it or else, ended up with the show being cancelled years later

As a Racer myself, he did not fail on this. It was the car and/or car setup. It's unfortunate that no one is there to help dial in the car setup. That or if he had access to the same car with the same setup. He would have absolutely smashed that time.

How did Top Gear record the lap times? Surely it was more precise than a bloke with a stop watch and eyeballing it. Love Ben! He's the real Stig.

0.7 seconds behind a car that has 100 more hp is way quicker. He is the Real OG stig

Some say he works for the British secret service, and he’s responsible for all the stunt driving of the many James Bond movies of late.
