Is that real? I mean, I don't think Schumacher has that much free time to drive for TG. Besides, he resides in Germany, doesn't he?

highly doubt it, its a publicity stunt. also what about all the cars that were tested in season 1-9 while scumi was still in F1?

if it was the lap times should be 2 secs faster.

I think it's true.. It's not like they have live shows. Every season is pre-recorded months and months in advance, and I'm sure TG makes a crap-ton of $$ for every broadcast. They can afford Schu. Besides - the stig doesn't make an appearance in every episode.

I second that.. Why would they lie? TG is known for their brutal, honest reviews. Schu = The STIG!
