It seems that the previous outing of the Stig as Ben Collins was incorrect and it's been now confirmed as:

The Stig

More importantly, Top Gear's back on!!@%!@

It's only Top Gear Aus tonight or is the UK on another night now?

For someone who doesn't watch the show, does it make a difference who the stig is? Or is it just a mysterious, curiosity thing?

Yeah just the mystery thing.

He's obvioulsy a good driver as he time tests all the cars around their track.

You only ever see him in his white suit so there was plenty of speculation on who he was.

I wish SBS would hurry up and bring the British Top Gear back. The Aussie one is very painful to watch.

So (also as someone that doesn't watch it), is this now REALLY who he is, or is this just another fake publicity stunt thing

Its a fake, he was on the show because of the Ferrari car that was in a segment

Is the sting something in Top Gear? Only seen it once when i was around a bogan's house.

Lies, like a bogan would let someone who wears loafers into their home.

Is that something obvious to regular watchers?

I can't figure why the media would jump all over this unless they have a reasonable reason to think its actually real - except, of course, the obvious one, that they're complete asshats

ben collins was the stig for first 2 seasons i believe... The Stig hasn't always been the same person.

I only mentioned Ben Collins in case people remembered this thread:

He's not really the stig. Just finished watching the episode where they "revealed" him and he was only on there because of the Ferrari test lap. At the end of the show they said that Schumacher isn't really the stig.

Its obvious that hes not the stig because, as f***en if Schumacher would dedicate all the time required for something like that, teaching b grade celebs how to drive, doing laps of some airport tarmac in random often unamazing cars. (when most of the time he is testing Ferraris and living a pimp lifestyle)

I honestly dont understand why people want to know who it is, or that it matters. The stig is just 'a race driver' - it would be so much cooler if it was a robot.

Yeah it was doubtfull the schumacher was the stig, it just doesnt make sense.

Its most likely the guy that was found out eariler this year, a stunt/movie driver.

I dont realy want to find out who the stig is, it would make it kinda pointless to have him there then.

Schumacher - no

as cool as it would be.. it cant be him

if you don't watch topgear you're doing it wrong

even if you hate cars, topgear is awesome

MSC has not been the stig in the past, it's new for this season.

What tequila said.

I'm not motorholic or revhead, but I find the British Top Gear a really fun and enjoyable show to watch even when I don't necessarily agree with some of Clarkson's on-show stated beliefs. ;P

No way Ferrari would have let some misc drive one of their FXX's around and who else to do it than Mr Ferrari himself. Will be back to the usual stig next week.

Yeah, they pretty much admitted Schumacher wasn't The Stig at the end of the episode anyway.

Yup they made it fairly obvious

they're complete asshats

Bingo.

SIFNT WATCH TOP GEAR! (uk, that is. aus = meh)
