Now that your very good point is addressed, Top Gear nerd question: New Stig getting better times than Sacked Stig? Should some of the Lap Leaders get retested to eliminate any doubt, ie the Veyron, Ascari A10, CCX, Enzo etc.? Also shouldn't New Stig do a power lap in the Liana to see where he ranks among the F1 guys?
New Season slated for late June, can't wait.

Ideally they should get re-tested, but they most likely won't. I don't think the next series of Top Gear UK will start till next January according to Clarkson. To be clear, I'm talking about Series 19 starting in January 2013. Not sure which one they are airing in the US in June, but it's probably series 18 (which is already done airing in the UK).
