The Tuscan won, so there is no need to do the shoot out

The Tuscan won what ?

I know a while ago, the magasine had the Cerbera Red Rose up against the Pagini, 911 Turbo etc etc, but I don't think the Stig drove them (anyone else watch the Le Mans warm up on Saturday morning on Eurosport & notice them tell the world who the Stig is ?)

There was an article in the Daily Torygraph that was complaining about Top Gear thrashing about in a classic Le Mans D-Type (totally 1 sided arguement, no response from Top Gear). They claimed that the Stig was in fact 2 people, hadn't heard of either of them.
