    One of my funniest Stig moments was when he goes to buy gas and has a Credit card that says "The Stig" as the name and "Bank of Money" as the bank. I can still remember the boys wondering if he even knew how to buy gas. The Stig was a great "character". They could look at getting "Stig" back in the mix with the OG boys, but there are some issues with the BBC I am sure.

    The motorcar enthusiasts of the internet NEED more Ben Collins content. Whether that's him racing the latest supercars round an international circuit, reviewing popular hot hatches on back roads, or just chatting about his fascinating life. He's such an interesting guy who people naturally warm to, would be a shame to let his talent go to waste.

    I love being able to tell people that I got to watch 'The Stig' racing in NASCAR! Sort of - it was the ASCAR series in the UK, they raced at Rockingham Speedway and Eurospeedway Lausitz in Germany, and back in 2002 they had a pretty stacked field including Jason Plato, Nicholas Minassian, Kelvin Burt, Darren Manning, Colin McRae made a few cameos IIRC, and Mr Collins himself in the #84 Territorial Army car - it was in a full army camoflage wrap, looked really cool! So wild looking back on it now, I was 10 years old, and I wish I'd been able to appreciate watching Ben/The Stig racing up close 😊

    Great episode!
    This made me reminisce about the old Top Gear which is very much missed and could never be reproduced. I will be buying that book, thank you for everything you've done over these many years, Stig.

    Everyone remembers the Mercedes flying at le Mans in 1999, and 1955...
    Nobody remembers the Porsche at Road Atlanta in 1998, same deal. Yannick Dalmas pulled off a backflip at RA in the irst ever Petit Le Mans while following a lower class car. That Porsche 911 GTA-Evo 98 was a sleep, beautiful, flying machine.

    I love the drive in the rain, you really get a sense of what star in the reasonably priced car was like behind the scenes; the way Ben would instruct the guests.

    Ben's comments on the smell of barbecue and campsites hold true and were the most calm zen like times on the track.

    Lovely film, lovely subjects, well done all around. Nothing like a road trip with a racing legend to bring you around.

    Mike really is such a great presenter. Nothing again Ben but he doesn't catch me as the most entertaining fella in the world, Mike can seem to bring water out of wood with how personable and authentic he is. Editors killed it, camera work always marvellous, great production altogether. Drivetribe all day, babyyyyyyy!

    Reading Ben's book as a kid was such an eye opener to the reality of Top Gear, away from judgement, and just fun go read.

    I was at Le Mans in 92. The group C cars were awesome. Drank beer all night but was wide awake spectating on the home straight, Dunlop bridge and Tertre Rouge.

    That episode cemented the stig and the mechanics as an absolute heroes. They gave all the credit to those men and it sounds like they were 100% correct to do so.
