Dont know if this is a repost, or indeed even real but its pretty genuine i think. Had a quick search and i couldnt find any evidence of this already being posted.

From a dutch TV show

YouTube

If this has already been around a while please could the mods remove it and accept my appologies for being thick.

Never seen this. Good find though this doesn't get me any closer to figuring out who he is LOL He does sound similar to Hammond, but not close enough IMO Also, Hammond looks just a bit shorter then the presenter girl and the Stig looks equal to a little bit shorter whilst leaning on a car. I think if the Stig stood up, he would be taller than Hammond.

Who was the chick presenting anyway? She looks kinda hot.

It's probably a number of people. And most likely not always a famous racer.

Ben Collins (driver)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Ben Collins driving the #84 car in the 2003 SCSA championshipBen Collins (born February 13, 1977) is a single seater and sports car driver from Bristol, England. He started his motorsport career in 1994, competing in Formula First and Formula Vauxhall Junior on his way to International Formula 3. In the late 1990s, he also worked as a racing instructor at Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire, UK. After success in ASCAR stock car racing he was signed by PDM to do selected rounds of the 2004 Indy Racing League, but the car never appeared. In 2005, he competed in the British GT Championship in a Porsche 997 GT3.


Ben Collins 'outed' as The Stig
Appearing on a New Zealand Motorsport television programme called 'Pit Lane' on January 17th 2007, A1GP team manager and British motorsport personality David Sears was questioned if he knew the identity of the Top Gear test driver known only as "The Stig". Without hesitiation and in a very matter-of-fact manner he replied, "Oh, you want to know who the Stig is... Ben Collins, he's a British sportscar driver, Ben Collins".
