A Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.Apart from Stig ,Tiff Nedell,a rather 3Rd rate Circuit Crasher from England the only Star ive Recognized without 3 Hrs of thinking ,is Tom Cruze the Chevy owner, who doesn't post here anymore. Its all Reality Show Nothings to me .Rowan Atkinson and a few others are Stars but that lot.., never heard of Em, or am i just OLD..?..Tiffs not dumb,he never sets His target time. Whats Yore Take.?.

[Ace of Pop]

So,name some Stars then,

[canuckamuck]

I recognize nearly all of the stars they use, and I am not British and I haven't had cable or satellite TV for 12 years.

[bkkjames]

I recognized a few international stars but most of the famous only in the UK, have no clue who they are. Guess they are domestically famous...a bit like Thai tv and movie stars. ...

And his co-star ... don't know who she was though ... but she beat him ... some Aussie lady.

[Ace of Pop]

Who is Will Smith.?. Rubens Barachello,Tom Cruze.O.K.. its not realy Stars its area Celebs mainly. Enjoyed Rubens Lap,shame Stig didnt compete against his time.

Warpy wasn't available that week lol.

As for Men in Black. ..Will Smith, perhaps Tommy Lee Jones is more your genre ace.

I shouldn't bite, because probably this thread is just you trying to show your out of touch, or making a point about you don't consider todays new stars because you are stuck in time somewhere.

But who is Will Smith? A rapper from the beginning of music videos, who became a TV star and then became one of Hollywood's top A-list action/drama stars. And not only that his wife is a fairly famous TV, Movie, and voice actor, and one of his kids has not only been in movies, but was the star of Karate Kid and is now pursing a music career.

So Will Smith is kinda famous and I think Top Gear has the right to call him a star.

[IMHO]

This season the "stars" have been Ed Sheeran (musician), Keifer Sutherland (actor), Will Smith (actor/musician), Olly Murs (musician) and Daniel Ricciardo - the best F1 driver, ever (and not just at the F1 lap challenge).

If you don't know these people, I think you need to turn on your TV and radio more often

In last week's episode, the Stig was seen beating up a cardboard likeness of Daniel Ricciardo - I'm guessing he didn't just shame the other F1 drivers 2 weeks ago

But I can see what you mean about not many stars.

Maybe they should have gotten the Queen or Barack Obama, jeez they could have dug up Benny Hill, strapped him in with a seatbelt and put a house brick on the accelerator (just so they have someone that you recognise).

[SoiBiker]

Maybe the OP could suggest a few people that are more famous than those featured on the show?

[Ace of Pop]

Wow,thats a usefull list,Saves looking through all the progs to find a star.

[Ace of Pop]

Jeremy has had a go about Liverpool. Mirror Online. Hes wonderfully Non P.C. He should be your next P.M.

Epic:

Or one of the other F1 drivers has is moonlighting in the off season? Or maybe a recently retired Brazilian F1 driver who used to be at the top of the list?

BTW incidentally, Matt Leblanc who was nearly listed last is the current celebrity fastest lap holder and has been for some years now.. I'd like to see them get some pro sports car racer/actor Patrick Dempsy over there and see how he fares in that comp., Personally I think LeBlanc is probably faster.

[ignis]

and the German Race queen ? with link

Sabine Schmitz

[WarpSpeed]

What is it you're asking Ignis? Is she a celebrity outside of her racing? Not including her TV racing exploits.. Not sure what it is you're saying?

[kartman]

The latest episode Clarkson says the Stig does not recognize any of the stars, is this thread related has there been a serious breach of Top Gear security?.

Ace of Pop IS the Stig..... Wow !!!!

[Ace of Pop]

How can he. ?. The Tinted Visor makes sure of that.

[BSJ]

I thought I saw Jimmy Savile on Top Gear years ago driving the "Reasonably Priced Pedophile Van"
