Two-litre era draws to a close

The current era of World Rally Cars will draw to a close on next month's Wales Rally Great Britain, with 15 cars starting the Cardiff-based event. Next year's revised technical regulations mean the end of the road for cars like the Citroen C4 WRC, Ford Focus RS WRC and the Subaru Impreza WRC - all of which will be represented in Wales from November 11-14. Today's two-litre specification of cars has stood since the start of the 1997 season, but next year World Rally Cars will run with 1.6-litre engines and with radically down-sized levels of transmission technology.

As you might expect, then, Top Gear presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May are hot on the trail of a replacement Stig, and they've apparently found just the place: a farm. And not just any farm... a farm where Stigs are cultivated, no less.

Clarkson has reportedly found a perfect candidate who will be unveiled at the Top Gear Live event at Earl's Court in London next week. It's not known whether this new Stiggy will be the final model used for the next series of episodes, leaving only one real question left that still needs answering: What color will the next Stig be?

We vote pink. Sabine, anyone?
