Ponty Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 Old news tbh, but it is the first time he's confessed to it. The only reason it's supposed to be an anonymous figure is so that 'experts' can be substituted at appropriate times, like when Kovalainen took the R24 Renault F1 car around the Top Gear track. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka33m7n8MCc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yate Saint Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 He was recently in a Bristol photography shop. The owners signed a contract thing to say they would not reveal who he was. Probably him then, using the Bristol link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 Wasn't this revealed ages ago after Hammond's crash. He was named as an expert linked to the program in the reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowsaintsfan Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 Also Found this The identity of Top Gear's mysterious Stig has been one of the best kept secrets in television. But after years of intense public curiosity it has been revealed that he is a 33-year-old racing driver from Bristol. Ben Collins is the mystery man behind the white mask, a former American NASCAR, Formula 3 driver and Daniel Craig stunt double. Famed for his on-the-limit driving style, the Stig's identity is normally protected because he never removes his trademark white helmet or racing suit and never talks on camera. However, the secret apparently came out when a Bristol newspaper ran a story claiming that Collins was at a Bristol photo studio where limited-edition prints of the Stig were being produced. The media has long known who the Stig is but has refrained from revealing his true identity. A Top Gear spokesman said: "We never comment on speculation as to who or what The Stig is." Rumour has it that if the Stig's identity was ever revealed the driver could be sacked from Top Gear. The original Stig, Perry McCarthy, was launched off an aircraft carrier and 'killed' after his identity was revealed. In 2007, Ben Collins wrote a series of stunt-driving articles for MSN Cars.
