i always thought they had like three different stigs at any one point.

sorry to steal your thunder but i knew it was him...or one of them not sure which for ages.... its in richard hammonds crash report...

on page 5, number 37

'Visit by Ben Collins (BC) to PTLE'
'The jet car feature was considered to be
sufficiently unusual and hazardous for GW to ask BC, who worked closely with Top Gear as
a high performance driver and consultant, to go and see PTLE and Vampire, and to prepare
a briefing for RH. '

Everyone who read that report had their suspicions it was,
but there also was a logical reason if he wasnt as he is a stunt driver, so could have quite easily been called in to help.
