Does he have a professional doing all the driving stunts or does he actually have those driving skills in some of the footage? If he's that accomplished as a driver...I take back that I called him a moron on a different thread....impressive video!

The 'Stig' in the last series was a F1 test driver called Perry McCarthy. The new 'Stig' has not leaked out yet, but there is speculation it may be the same guy, I personally doubt it!
As for the Damon Hill romour, I would be VERY surprised.
p.s. after that review was shown on Top Gear in late November my local Mazda dealer was inundated with preorders!
All courtesy of Mr Clarkson (and the RX8)!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Wow - I loved the video...laughed my head off. I have some issues with my yellow RX-8 automatic but it never ever stops being fun. The sound system is what makes me want to keep driving and driving. It handles much better on the highway than I find on the street and when he talked about the wheel wobbling I knew what he was talking about. From day one I felt my RX needed a wheel alignment.
