Yeah, I have read that HERE and believe that they change stig drivers depending on which car is being test driven, so Michael was one of them for a period of time, especially when test driving a Ferrari emoticon

Re: THE STIG....


If you look closely, he is too thin to be the STIG.
Like Jalal said, it usually is who is available at the time unless its a touring car driver in Britain. Thats my guess.

Personaly, I like ' American STIG' when he walked out of his trailer, typical yank with curvey lines. emoticon

Just found out who the Stig is in real life ... not sure if I should post his real identity though. I'll just say that maybe Quantum of Solace has something to do with it and those die hard fans can work it out.

Confirmed in today's paper he is racing for jack Daniel's Racing team in the Bathurst this Sunday. Not sure if he's going to don the white suit or not. I'd be most surprised if he came out of no where and blitzed everyone else. Go STIG !!!
