Ride with the Stig

Check out some of The Stig's most blistering laps in our video section

First they get the stonking new Bathurst S VXR8, now this. Those pesky Poms are getting the chance to buy a hot lap with Sir Stigginton himself around our TG test track.

Unless you’re (a) very famous or (b) a bit famous and it’s been a quiet week, the chances of you getting a ride like this are, well, non-existent. Until now.

Our tame racing driving has teamed up with massive UK charity day Comic Relief (we say ‘teamed up with’ – they’ve actually lured him into a big box with half an antelope carcass and refused to let him out) to give one lucky Englishman a passenger ride around our illustrious test track. All for charidee.

It’ll be wild. It’ll be sideways. It might very well smell slightly of cinnamon. But if you want to see what being in a car alongside Baron Stiggington himself is worth, you’d better get on over to our auction page and check it out.

And fear not, we're currently investigating whether Aussies can bid and we'll let you know. So get your credit cards ready...
