paulcundy is the new stig

[maharg]

For the last few weeks, Plans Motorsport have been running a thing called the stiggy challenge. Well, paul was down yesterday and had a little go in a Noble just to set a benchmark. I secretly think it's beatable...

The format is down to plans, have an half and hour briefing, introduction to the track, one hours tuition and six timed laps of the Stig Circuit. This is the same format as the "star in the reasonable priced car".

We post your user name (or other pseudonym if you're bashful), the spec of your car, and your best time from the six laps. The whole session is usually £199 but we will discount for Pistonheads to £179 inc VAT.

Should make interesting reading....

Yes its beatable. The hammerhead is a bizarre complex. I did my laps before Graham did his demo lap in my car which was a mistake. So if you have a go at this get him to drive you round in your car first - worth a good 2 seconds in my opinion.

Ps also be aware that Plans secret name for this list is "the muppets board" so that makes me head muppet - for the moment.
