Chris Barry & 'Stig' Richards battling it out for the 2009 Championship. I greatly enjoyed watching this.

Stig is actually the guy's name hahaha. Thanks Matt for posting. Needless to say Chris made up the 3 points needed and closed out the championship.

It's intersting how the Clubman racing have different cars in the same category but they all balance out. Chris (yellow car) has more grunt, but as a result of the grunt, it uses tyres more quickly versus Stig, it also does not brake as well. Towards the end Chris was saying to me that the tyres were just gone and the last 2 corners he really had to fight the car... I don't know what he meant by fighting but I have always suspected Chris Barry and Jenson Button shared ancestors some where.

Yeh, "Stig" is a common abbreviation of the name "Sterling". I've known a few Stigs over the years. Strangely, I don't think Sterling Moss was ever called Stig ... but perhaps he should have! :lol:

I was there spectating at this race meeting and caught a few shots of Stig and Chris duking it out. Great video, btw!
