Hum interesting.

But that doesn't prove that he's the Stig. The Stig can be a vary of persons, not just one.

Yep, that must be the only good reason to keep 'him' masked... not sure about this news.. :?

saadie 07-30-2006 02:51 PM

imo
the stig is rowan atkinson ....
he uses his mr been voice when teaching guests the way round the track ;) ..
but anyway ...
who cares ..
if i get to know who the stig is .... watching TG will become 50% boring .:P

Evo 07-30-2006 03:14 PM

Do you think TopGear will revile his identity at one point.

evoWalo 07-30-2006 03:20 PM

I doubt they'll reveal it, ever.

saadie 07-30-2006 03:31 PM

the first stig revealed his own identity :lol: ...

Fleischmann 07-30-2006 05:24 PM

This is in now way proof of Stig's identity but I've always believed it was Damon Hill. It's obvious that the mysterious racer has F1 experience and DH seems to be the only such person connected with Top Gear.

saadie 07-30-2006 05:26 PM

Interesting but Stig has a different line to all the F1 drivers who come to the track which is maybe odd ?

My mother happened to be watching a little whilst reading her book a while ago, during the episode where DH came on to test the Ferrari 575 and the Vanquish, she said 'is that the Stig'?!!!! :shock: I asked her why she would think that and she said by his shape and the way he walks/stands!!

Women do notice these things!

^LOL at your mum :good:

So... i reckon that i met Damon at the motorshow the other day :P :wink: (before you all start saying that it could be anybody under the visor - i know!)

saadie 07-30-2006 07:23 PM

^^ soo you are saying you are about a 50 yo woman ? :lol:

Well done to both of you... this point has been made to death.

Of course it could be various people - except really fat ones, anbody will look like the Stig if they wear the right gear.

LOL, that is true. Women do notice things like this. I have seen it happen all too often. Damn women recognize you from across the boarder just by how you walk and carry yourself.

Anyway, The stig may be more than one person, but i really couldnt see that as being true. I mean businees wise, why would you hire more than one driver unless its needed. Its a full time job, but I dont think another person is needed. Hell they get breaks all the time i'm sure. If i were the stig, i wouldnt want anybody else anyway. I would be pretty upset if it were someone elses turn to drive, and "this weeks" test involved the latest Ferrari. Whatever - thats my petty change.

McLarenboy 07-31-2006 02:16 PM

pfff, Damon Hill is NOT the stig - as you will see when you click the link, it's just a demo run by Renault :roll:

(plz not the helmet damon is holding, it's his own!!!!!!!!!!)

do not get into this discussion again :x , every british reporter thinks he's spotted the Stig as soon as they see a white overall.

get your facts right people :lol:

Well they said that he didn't even drive the Renault and that Renault's test driver actually drove the F1 car.

Toronto 08-01-2006 03:23 PM

if you look in hte most recent ep. of top gear, you can see when the stig is driving the nobel his head moves forward and you can see the back of his neck, and that he cas brown hair. not salt and pepper.
so this week the stig wasn't Hill ;)

CroWn 08-11-2006 06:51 AM

Interesting. :mrgreen:

dutchmasterflex 08-14-2006 02:39 PM

Well the stig is definitely a character played by different people.

But there has got to be a "main" stig that teaches all of the celebrities to go around the track, right?

TeflonTron 08-14-2006 03:25 PM

I thought that the Stig was Perry McCarthey or something. That being said, I may be behind the times as I don't watch Top Gear.

saadie 08-14-2006 05:47 PM

^^ that guy was the furst stig .. the black one .....
he pullished a book with the title " I am the Stig " soo jermy killed him :mrgreen:

csvt_man 08-30-2006 11:30 PM

me and a friend have a theory that the stig could be colin mcrae but we are likely way off. i mean he takes some coners differently than the f1 drivers and is definatly a talented driver so it is possable. just one more driver to think about.

DeMoN 08-31-2006 02:20 PM

since we always or almost always see him sitting down on car, we cant conclude that he is fatter or skinnier to prove its diff drivers.

Malcom (Renault Engineer i met earlier this year) told me that stiggy actually did drive the Renault; not the test driver.... and had a devil of a time not stalling the car.

Remco558 09-27-2006 09:26 AM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig

some stuff about the stig. A few months ago they also said on wikipedia that the stig wasn't drive the renault, but jakko kovallainnen renaults f1 testdriver.

Hehe... I don't really know where to post these pics since (1) it's composed of multiple makes and (2) it would be useless to start a new topic with only these 2 pics and no supporting article. The Stig is in it anyway... so it's not totally unrelated :D
