The Stig unveiled!
 

Express reckons the Stig is Julian Bailey, former F1 and Touring car driver who won the FIA World Sports Car championship.

They do not state how they know....

Think this was covered on here a few weeks ago, I'm sure someone will be along shortly to post a link to the thread, but the previous thread was quite adament it wasn't Julian Bailey....

Black Stig: Perry McCarthy
White Stig: Ben Collins

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

Tis indeed a crock of ****. Perry's your man, 100%.

Was your man. He went of the side of an aircraft carrier in a Jag after exposing himself (oo err madam) in his biography.

Arse! The world's moving too damn fast this morning.....:lol: Tis of course Ben GT Collins.

Did see Ben Collins do a stunt or 2 of top gear before. he drove an open top car and his mate parachuted in to it ... about 3rd attempt.


As a company we used to sponsor Ben in ASCAR ... I thought he was in the States driving NASCAR or similar.

what happened to perry mccarthy then i was sure it was him

It was....but he was exposed, or chose to expose himself in his biography as I understand it so they killed him off and got a new stig. The new (white) stig is Ben Collins.

Not gospel but check out wikipedia.
