I am not falling for this c--p, not the real Stig, obvisously Ferrari would not let anyone but Schumacher drive the Ferrari, and they let it slip they where unveiling the Stig to boost viewing figures. I am sure the stig has multi personalaties depending on the car being driven!

All pantomine guys, although I do find TG very entertaining.The Stig is Ben Collins.

I actually have a mate called Stig, gotta be the coolest name when you are pulled by the police [:D][:D]

Whenever the Stig's identity is revealed he gets sacked - dramatically sacked.

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

Perry Mccarthy was the original "black stig"
Ben Collins is the present stig.
Thought this was common knowledge.

I can't believe this story made the news on TV tonight.

I am one of the few Americans who are TopGear fanatics. I have to download it each week to watch it.

I read that Michael owns that Ferrari (not a loaner from the factory).

When they put “himâ€￾ the car from star in reasonably priced car, they made it look like he didn’t even know the track – showing that he is not the stig.

The whole Stig idea is clever, and not everyone, really knows who the real stig is, even though people say they do!, the point is whoever is the Stig, is just a damm good driver, and last night was a bit of fun, that worked in well with the one million quid Ferrari thing!!

Its an old wrestling stunt, have a masked man and almost anyone can take his place, Kendo Nagasaki was the most famous and could wrestle in 2 places at the same time.
