This is just a guess, not a scientific analysis, but I think you could be right. It may be a bit slow around their tight track.

I still look forward to TG on a Sunday eve as much as I used to.

Times change and winning formulas don't last forever but there's enough in there to keep me interested for now.

But then, I don't get to watch much telly so I take what I can get :thumbsup

Question would be why don't VW give them one to track - scared the legendarily rough TG 'testing' (read: ham-fisted thrashing) would break their 1.2 mil euro car and make them look bad?
Looks like they might finally get their way. According to the blurb for this Sunday's show:
"after literally years of nagging, we've finally managed to get a Bugatti Veyron out on the test track for the Stig to play with."

If it's true, it should be worth watching :D
