James drives so much better when he borrows The Stig's helmet. That's the secret. It's the helmet. Some say it's magnetic.

I think it’s when you wear stings helmet you magically become as good as the stig.

Regardless of whether that overtake was staged, that was some of the best driving I've ever seen from James.

"but let's not forget...this was JAMES at the wheel"

When you take into consideration just how long 15 seconds is in racing terms it’s unbelievable how good of a driver stig, I mean James, actually is

This is one of the best overtakes ever!

Anyone else have the goosebumps when James did that insane overtake at 2:53?

The Stig is not a man, he is the embodiment of the collective will of the United Kingdom. Capable of feats that no mortal can hope to surpass. The Stig is an immortal force of nature which will never be halted.

Every time I watch when “James” overtakes it gives me goosebumps

2:46 time stamp: when James overtakes. Richard’s face is hilarious😂 really fearing for his life

"I hope I not wet myself in Jame's race su-Your race suit, your race suit!" -Richard Hammond

Holy shit... I only watched a few episodes of this show before. But James May didn't really look like the type of person to be able to drive like that... bloody insane.

@olivia benedict "but let's not forget, this was James at the wheel"; so said Richard Hammond.

I think nowadays it's multiple people who play the Stig, probably a different guy who specialises in a certain type of driving. The BBC don't ever want what happened with Ben Collins to happen again, where one guy played the Stig in almost all his appearances and was able to write a memoir exposing secrets. With numerous actors/drivers, there can't be any one person who can outright claim that they're the Stig in future.

Yep. Because the cars used in the video are Proton S2000 cars, the fact that he's a really good rally driver (although he would never beat his brother), being British and his scheduling being round about right for the time of filming, I suspect "The Stig" in this case is Alister McRae, the son of Jimmy McRae and brother of Colin.

I rewatched that overtake at least 7 times

James really does find several other levels in these races 😂

i love how at 1:03 the stig just gave him the death stare from behind the racing goggles lmao.

I love the Stigs driving always.. even when he crashes he does it with great speed and style. Amazing driver!!

dark knight theme and the proton s2000 car .... perfect...

Of everything I ever loved about this show, the overtake is simply the best!

probably the best 3:47 minutes of top gear I've ever watched :D

What an amazing driver whoever shot this episode was. Amazing control and raw speed. Never gets old

I love the overtaken shots @ 2:56-3:00 ..... it shows us the amazing speed carried out by the Stig.....

The fact that the background theme is from TDK just makes the clip even more enjoyable to watch.

The new stig was awesome!!!!!! What is the music?, sounds like a Hans Zimmer track from The Dark Knight

This was completely EPIC! I still watch this video all the time, and with the Dark Knight soundtrack oh my days!! 🔥🔥🔥

I remember watching this exact clip when I was 7. Now I've returned, im still satisfied with that marvelous overtake lol

"It's the United Kingdom!" is still one of my favorite quotes from Top Gear, and I'm American.

One of the greatest racing performances ever!!

top gear is the best show i just love it i watch it all time

3 minutes and 46 seconds and this is better than what`s modern on tv today, Jeremey Richard and James`s Top Gear all the way!

James is an amazing driver.

Watch and learn. One of the best overtakes I've seen by the stig.

"I know this stuff, this is asphaaaalllltttt!" Best commentary ever😂🤣😂 I so glad they lost

i never see driving like this..good jog stig!!!!!!!you are the best

amazing! just pure driving genius

I miss this Aussi-Team a lot! They were fantastic!

Top Gear needs more of these epic races with the Stig i mean James....

James has the best overtaking skills😂

Simply the best television show ever!!!!!!! 2nd to none

best bit of driving ive seen in a long time.... wish could see it in more real time and not highlights, as the driving from the stig is spectacular

"May you're a different man in this car" 😂😂😂

WHAT A DRIVER !!!!!!! AMAZING!!

2:49 OMG STIG!!!! JAMES!!! YOU'VE GONE MAD!!!! Nice semi catch lol

Madness , the way he was simply going off track, he is a true Rally driver. There is only man crazy enough to dive in to corners like this. KEN BLOCK. This reminds me of GROUP B.

James driving skills are awesome!

new stig loves to drift / power slide -- noted when he took the atom v8 for a power lap, as well as the GTO, and also in this rally duel ! ! !

That was awesome!!!!!! Dude can drive.

They got hans zimmer music in this😳..... simply WOW!

That noise 2.08 - oh, its just astonishing!

Just love the fact that James just looks at Hammond for a moment

best driving ive ever seen the stig do, hes just crazy

Freeze @ 2:46 Look at Hammond's Face :D HAHA xDD

I miss this show

Absolutely insane driving skills. He did the impossible on this one

The dark knight saving Rachel😂

i always enjoy the show, can they come sometime ?, love all of them

Now that's driving.

"I know this stuff! This is gravel! This is asphalt" "Say what?!" "Yeah, true story.... Mate"

"look at your little feet going!" lolol

I love the way they pull up and 'James' is like 'sup?'

I miss this soo much. Stig pretending to be James May lol.

Some of the best driving you will ever see

Tom Cave for sure in the Proton Satria Neo Super2000. Pretty good driver and he's only 17 or 18.

This is like a freaking high production racing movie. BETTER!!!! I got the chills watching this race.

stig make a fantastick job in this race ! bravo!

really great driving

I Love it 🥰 this is great !!!!!

PROTON!!!!i am malaysian!!haha great car!

3:33 has been my wallpaper for months, some years ago

most epic pass ever, look at richards face. lol

STIG/James Is the freakin man, what a pass! i was screamin at my computer!! GO STIG

Proton Satria Neo Malaysia made, always be Malaysian legend 👍🏻

really this work with the music!!!

At 3:14 the Australian co-driver says 'We've got to beat the stig' XD

Amazing

could you imagine driver that hard and having Hammond next to you cracking jokes

'James May' racing in this and the challenge against Top Gear Germany were some of the biggest and most enjoyable laughs from the whole series.

5 second penalty Stig:FOR WHAAAAT!!! CORNER CUTTING

amazing overtake

2024 im still watching this.proud to be malaysian

that guy is a hell of a driver :D

3:26 when my mom comes from grocerie store with all the food

Ive got goosebumps when james try to cut the rally driver off and they did it.. 😱😱😱

Proton S2000...great car by UK engineers...

Batman music fit perfectly in this video

I can't wait til I have my car up to par to do this kinda driving :D

That over take though WOW.

With the Batman music it’s pretty epic

That was an epic pass wow
