Race the Stig's Digital Cousin - Rival Mode starting April 1st

Just read the following from here - Race The Stig's Digital Cousin in the "Forza Motorsport 5" Top Gear Car Pack - Xbox Wire

“Beginning April 1, Fans will have the chance to pit their driving skills against The Stig’s “Digital Cousin” in an all-new Rivals event set on the iconic Bathurst Circuit at Mount Panorama, Australia. Take to the track in the 2013 Holden #10 Xbox Racing Team Commodore VF, push as hard as you can to set your best time possible and try to beat the Stig’s Digital Cousin.”

Just wondering if the time to beat will be improved over the course of the event (like the bounty challenge) or we’ll just need to beat the time and then we’re done? Beat his time and you’ll get 250,000crs or better if you finish in the top 10.

Love Rivals events!

Here we go again :slight_smile:

The Stig should not need to try to improve his time. As The Stig should set his fastest time from his first flying lap! All he knows is fast lol

Some may say…he’s so tough that he gargles peanut butter.

soo!
They raced Bathurst around when xbox one was released, ya?
Would it be completely out of the question, and forgive me if this is out of line, but!
given the challenging nature of the ‘untuned’ Mclaren, would it be a possibility that you could tune the rival car, just as it was for the real life race?
I’m guessing this will probably be a no go, as that type of stuff is pretty secretive? but in the off chance it could happen, it would add an element of realism and excitement…and really, just kinda be cool. Love or lump the tune, it would be an interesting thing to measure yourself against.

It’s a Fake.

Some say he knows 2 facts about ducks… and both of them are wrong.

I heard the Stig’s Cousin needs neither controller or wheel to be quick.

Some say he uses Kinect voice commands to race

He uses his mind :o

On a more serious note, I do hope stiggy’s cousin is a decent challenge. He was a bit slow in Career mode even on unbeatable. Or maybe I’m the true stig. The world may never know.
