I think this is a red herring. The Stig's lap times get put on the F1 driver's board (except for individual car testing of course). This, along with the differing times between himself and the likes of Button and Hamilton suggest he's an ex F1 driver.

No way...the guy has a tremendous advantage on them - he knows the circuit blindfolded and the shitty car they drive in...therefore this would suggest he never got to the F1 level, cuz he should be able to find a couple seconds, given that the F1 drivers have a substantially limited time to get in touch with the track/shitty car...I say Blue stig (But mayB yellow would be better)

the stig takes a different line into all the corners to all of the f1 drivers

If anything the stig could be 2 or more people , it would be nice not to know as it has the element of being fun.

well I think that a Silver one or a Green would be better!
British Racing Green of course!

I don't care what WCF or any other site says, I will never ever believe who the "real" Stig is simply because I don't want to know. If I do know, that will pretty much ruin Top Gear for me. Even if the website is right, I don't care lol. So I never bother reading articles like this, but this time I decided to comment since the person's name is right in the headline

This is all just a cover-up. 5th gear must have been getting close to the technology to build their own tamed race driver!

I don't understand why people want to reveal his identity, it ruins the whole thing if they do which is bloody annoying.
If they do need a new Stig though, i'd say go with grey....not the most interesting colour but it'd make sense after having a Black and a White Stig.

agree...the Grey would be nice after Black and White STIG!!!
So Black & White is comming

grey? lol, that'd be something like:
"some say that his identity has been revealed several times, some say that he mated with black stig and gave birth to a driver, all we know is that he is not the Stig, it's Grey Stig"

I dont think that there is only one Stig on Top Gear!
Thats why he is masked and can be replaced without any complications

But then the lap times wouldnt be fare becuase different drivers have different skills and driving styles so the lap times would be different

babymilo, thats the point of getting rid of the identity. it gives the impression that all the cars were tested by the same driver with the same skills... when in reality it might not actually happen like that. u never know, but hopefully theres some integrity in there somewhere!

I ave [osted many times on here that Ben Collins is The Stog. If you read the Heatlth and Safety Report into Hammond's accident it names Collins as a consultant to Top Gear and evidential witness. This is old news.

Now there's gonna be a colored Stig....or maybe a Fat Stig?
January 19, 2009 11:30 pm

there have been a couple fat Stigs... first is Stig's american cousing, and the second one is the lorry driving Stig....
i'm glad of having raised an issue on a possible colour for next Stig, if it were red as I suggested it might make us think of a retired Schumacher, but then again MS is fully comitted with Scuderia Ferrari at the moment... so yeah, why not a Green Stig....
ok, if it turns out to be a multi-coloured Stig, it would mean it was James May on disguise..

im pretty damn sure it really is james may! he never drives the fast cars, or any cars fast at all on the show... its all an act, hes really the stig!
