Video: Stig attempts sensible car testing. Fails

To celebrate the launch of the all-new, only-slightly-bug-ridden TopGear.com, we packed Senior Road Test Editor Stig off to the track armed with a bunch of cars, a tape measure and a set of golf clubs, and told him to do some sensible, grown-up car reviewing.

Well, he tried.

Click the video above to see what happens when you leave a white-suited automaton alone with a host of performance cars (and, um, a VW California camper van), an empty circuit and a wanton disregard for the health of rear tyres.

And then, if you’re in the mood for some (slightly) more grown-up road-testery, head to our massive reviews archive for the most up-to-date, no-nonsense verdicts in the business… with just a soupcon of Stig.
