Okay thank you very much - i thought it must be Damon Hill or someone   

[danidmas]

So the Stigg is a Nascar driver - how dissapointing

Anyway, they will need a new one now that the identity of the white Stig has been "unveiled". Same happened with the "black Stig" some years ago.

The black Stig wrote a book about being the Stig. I don't think that video proves so much anything that they need to replace the Stig yet.

[goodduck]

i dont know if that video proves anything definitively. I read (probably on mw or jw) that the stig was actually a few people. anyway i find the idea of the stig to be pretty silly.

[MartinR]

Pff, this doesn't prove anything. I guess we'll only know if they declare the Stig dead again.

ahhhhh, "video no longer available"!!

someone saved it??

[Ronin005]

ok, I found it on youtube. now is it me or do I fail to see how he can be the Stig?? At which point is it confirmed or suggested that he is the Stig??

Yep, I've seen the second video earlier and it doesn't prove anything to any direction.

voices seem to match

I found it hard to compare them, because they were recorded in different kind of environments, but I admit there's some similarity.

[Ronin005]

proof is what we need, hard evidence!!

Exactly. Like so many my countrymen before, I really don't believe it until I see with my own eyes.

I don't think it proves anything to the point where the show will kill off White Stig.

HOWEVER.  I'm disappointed that he did an "appearance."  Stig isn't supposed to talk, at least not in my book.  I loved the episode they were building a Lotus 7 and were racing the Stig driving in from another place and he got pulled over and wouldn't answer the highway patrol that pulled him over.  Classic.  The fact that he was talking in the interview SUCKS.

well, that makes me think it that in actuality, that wasnt the "real" Stig at that point in time. maybe that there was actually Ben pretending to be the Stig. who knows though!!

Just saw an old episode of TG and seems like Ben Collins has worked with Top Gear. He drove the cars in the machine vs. teen downhill challenge. So might be that Collins really is The Stig or one of them... 

[spanky]

I like stuff to do with the Stig.... Just for interests sakes...

They have done well to make us all want to know who the stig is

[Sir_GT]

That's such a typical English accent that it could be anyone.
