The "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" is some kid called Lewis Hamilton.

Quote from the producer's blog:-

"Anyway, Lewis took his tuition from the Stig very seriously, then we set the stop watch and sent him off. The lap time you'll find out if you watch Sunday's show, but I will say I've been in the edit for two days since we recorded the show, and I still keep replaying his second to last corner, because I've never seen a piece of driving quite like it. The world is governed by the rules of physics, but he just seems to have his own set."

I've only ever seen anyone say something like that about 2 other drivers, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.

I thought the star in a reasonably priced car was James Blunt? Lewis is the F1 driver in the reasonably priced car

Looks like another good show though

Chris

James Blunt a star? Get real!
