Who is the Stig?
If you are a Top Gear Fan, I'm sure you are aware of Top Gear race driver, The Stig. This guy drives like a nut case and always listen orchestra music when he drives a car on the show. After all these years, his identity was astoundingly kept secret until Top Gear revealed the Stig yesterday. To our surprise, the Stig is dead racing driver Graham Hill. Well most media thought that the Stig was Damon Hill, a GP World Champion. But they were all wrong. The Stig is Damon Hill's father, Mr Graham Hill. Click HERE to see the complete story.

Fans of Top Gear might want to prepare themselves for another Stig death soon. When “Black Stig” Perry McCarthy revealed himself, Clarkson, Hammond and May offed him. Now, according to the UK’s Telegraph, the “White Stig” has apparently ended the mystery, revealing himself as 33 year-old Ben Collins. Collins has raced professionally in everything from NASCAR to LeMans, and most recently served as Agent 007’s double for sequences of Quantum of Solace that required fancy wheel work. It’s been such a secret for so long, how did the veil of silence come to be broken? Collins himself apparently revealed his day job to the owner of an art gallery in Bristol, England when asking for help producing a limited-edition print of The Stig plying his trade.
A builder had also come across the famed white suit and gloves on display in a cabinet while doing work at Collins’ home, and there has been conjecture in the past that Collins is The Stig. Now that the cat is out of the bag, we wonder if there’s much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the halls of Top Gear’s offices. Secret identity or no, Collins has proven himself as a fantastic driver as The Stig, and with this latest revelation, he potentially faces “The Sack” as they say in Merry Old.
No confirmation yet from Clarkson, Hammond or May on this revelation, and the only word out of Top Gear is that they “…never comment on speculation as to who or what The Stig is.” Hmm. In any case, we are left to wonder… what color will a new Stig be? Red? Gold? Blue?
