Top Gear’s anonymous racing driver The Stig has broken an “untouchable” 20-year-old record for the fastest lap around the BBC motoring show’s test track.
The Stig completed the 1.75-mile figure of eight circuit in 55.9 seconds, beating the previous record holder by 3.1 seconds at the track at Surrey’s Dunsfold Aerodrome, while driving the McMurtry Speirling Pure VP1 electric track car.
