I still fondly cling to the (admittedly far-fetched) notion that the Stig is actually James May and that "Captain Slow" is actually a really obvious diversion, so obvious that they thoguht no-one would believe it's actually him, purely because it's so obvious.
Ok so it has it's flaws, but that's my theory and i like it so there :P
well yes, that was my other theory, that was perfect, like when james drove the zonda f roadster and veyron. if you watch the clip it gives it away, i guess but it makes you think its him
It cant be James May, when they did the 24 hour Silverstone race the stig and May were both there racing. No way he can be the stig otherwise he would have done half of that race.
About the stig driving the Renault F1 car... don't be so naive. The could easily have gotten one of their testers like Heikki Kovalainen to put on a white suit and helmet. He's a fictional character. You don't think the same guy plays Santa in every shopping mall do you?
You're an idiot, you dont just put EVERYTHING you shoot on TV. How do you know he didnt spend 3 days learning to drive it? Would have made a very long and boring episode of top gear..
you are absouloutley rite (sry i cant spell. I have been a motorsport fan for about 6 years now and i think i know that you cant just jump into an f1 car first of all u have to have something called a super liscence, thats somethin that allows u to drive a f1 car next you have to know how one works. The next thing iss each f1 car cockpit is mesured to fit in the drivers body exactly 4 saftey so it couldnt be heikki kolvaleinen or any1 else it must have been a certain f1 driver!!
the top gear i watched earlier the new series richard hammond drove a f1 car.... the licence might be for racing other cars with it and they can make the seat coz i watched something about it.
It's Ben Collins just so you all know, I know this as a 110% fact, been confirmed from a related source which I can't mention, though probably sounds like i'm talking shit to the average top gear fan.
Perry McCarthy was the original Stig (all in black). The new Stig (all in white) is Ben Collins. Anybody remember the stunt where a guy parachuted out of a plane and landed in the back of a car? Ben Collins was driving the car.
Some say he has an extra nipple, shaped like Silverstone. All we know is the Stig has been Perry Mc Carthy, Julian Bailey, Damon Hill, Tiff Needell and Mark Webber. Allegedly.
i think the stig is sabine schmidt from the nurburgring because my friends brother said tht ppl think the stig is a women and is small where as damon hill is quite tall
i think the stig is damon hill.. watch damon hill in a reasonably priced car and it becomes pretty clear that at least at one point he was the stig..
anyway, if i was there i would've ran up to him and i would have taken his helmet off, or at least i would've raised the vison thing on his helmet, :))
Thanks for all your comments i really enjoyed reading them. I to wonder who is the stig do you think it could be a ex-professional racing driver because i think it could be.
If I was the camera man, I would of poked at him until he got pissed. Then he would get in trouble and the cops would have to identify him. But I wouldn't because this whole stig thing funny and
The Stig is a racing driver so he would have a couple of personal trainers, a few doctors and maybe a sponsorship from Alpinestars or Simpson, the Top Gear producer and Jeremy Clarkson. That would be what is behind the Stig all the way!
I love the way he looks at people XD "Who the HELL are you?!"

The Stig HAS to be a current or ex F1 driver.
