Some of you may already be aware the Top Gear test track can be looked at in detail via Google Map's Street View. Less well known, however, is that when the Google Maps team came to the circuit with its Opel Astra hatchback Street View car, the Stig was waiting with open arms. In fact, he was waiting for them in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, which he used to guide them around the Dunsfold Aerodrome track.

In true Top Gear tradition, the Google drivers were given a friendly welcome - warmed with burning rubber and plenty of smoky donuts.
