Six episode series isn't much fun! Hopefully that means we get a longer second series later this year.

"Cadbury Flakes are indeed very messy."
 Good episode but enjoyed last weeks one better. Those six weeks do fly by too fast... -------------------- |

The only one I could match up is:
Ben Collins Nationality British Date of birth 13 February 1975 (1975-02-13) (age 35) Previous series 2009 V8 Supercars 2006–07 FIA GT3 2006, 2010 Le Mans Series 2005 British GT Championship 2003 ASCAR 2001 FIA Sportscars 2000 French Formula Three 1999 Indy Lights 1998 Int'l Sports Racing 1997 FIA GT Championship 1996–98, 2000–01 British Formula Three 1995 Formula Vauxhall Junior Championship titles 2003 ASCAR Does this mean (if it's him) that he will now be looking for a new job now that the cat is out of the bag?  And no, I hadn't heard of him either until the last couple of days... -------------------- |

And no, I hadn't heard of him either until the last couple of days... I know a number of brit drivers in this line of work, several of them previous/current "Stigs". Ben had been heavily involved for a while, but had been cut back over time. He gets plenty of work in the film biz and doing work for manufacturers and such so he wont be starving. He's putting a book out because he's already worked that ticket and there is nowhere else to go with it. One of the current or main Stigs is a guy with F1 experience...so far I have never seen his name revealed anywhere. |
