An innocent driver named Martin was thrilled when he thought he saw the BBC Top Gear’s, The Stig driving down the M55 as Martin returned home from Blackpool with his wife.

Sure he had seen The Stig, he followed the driver for an additional thirty minutes into the Forton Service Station near Lancaster off the M6 and then asked for a photo with the driver. However, the BBC announced that the mysterious Stig was in fact an imposter and is looking into what occurred.

Martin stated that he had become quite excited as he was just driving along and while on the motorway you never expect to see someone famous.

A spokeswoman for the BBC stated that an enquiry has been launched into the imposter that is pretending to be the Stig and noted that the next Top Gear live tour will not be on the air until November.

It’s only recently that the world has come to realise just how hard racing drives, especially Formula One drivers have to train for their sport.

Jenson Button’s Triathlons have helped to dispel the myth that drivers simply get into a car and drive while Lewis Hamilton’s sponsorship by Reebok looks set to take training sessions to a new level with ZigTech.

Once the duo had cleared the zig-zagging obstacle course and the cheering crowd quietened down, Reebok explained the technology behind their new ZigTech footwear.

The concept of Reebok ZigTech trainers is inspired by the energy transfer of a slinky. So when running, the power generated from the impact of the heel strike ripples along the zigs of the unique ZigTech sole, chanelling energy throughout the step and propelling the athlete forward at toe-off. The end result is a shoe that provides superior cushioning and energy return to enhance training sessions by allowing the wearer to run further and faster for longer with less fatigue.

“You look at them and think, wow, they’re realy different,” said Lewis, “but they feel great to run in and put an extra spring in your step.”

Reebok is marketing their ZigTech footwear as an ‘energy drink for your feet’ because the unique sole not only propels you forward but also reduces wear and tear by up to 20% on key leg muscles.

The combination of energy return and cushioning reduces the impact and strain on the glutes, shins and hamstrings. So by taking the heavy impact out of running, the leg muscles won’t get as tired and can be exercised in the action of running, which is more rewarding to the athlete instead of absorbing foot impact.

Lewis Hamilton is set to be the poster boy for the UK’s ReeZig Reebok ZigTech marketing campaign. But whether ZigTech trainers will become an efficient athlete’s training aid or a popular teenagers lifestyle trainer remains to be seen.

But why are so many drivers babbling to their BMW’s? The rise in the popularity of in-car sat navs could explain why more motorists have become comfortable communicating with their cars.

However not all car talk is idle chatter, some luxury models like the Jaguar XF now have a voice activated command system giving drivers a reason to mutter to their motor and the Mercedes E-class has a voice warning to tell drivers about upcoming road signs.
