Top Gear's Stig?

James May just admitted in a live TV interview on BBC Breakfast News that he is Top Gear's "The Stig", and has been for years!
I don't believe that for one moment!
If he is "The Stig", then I am James May!
 
I think whoever the Stig is are under contractual obligations to not reveal their identity or they get in deep you know what. I think awhile back they had someone figure out the identity of the black Stig and they were taken off the program. I have been wondering for years though who in the world it could be, and would be cool to find out. Somehow I doubt he is the Stig though.
 
Some say: He gargles with Drain Cleaner, and his underwear starches itself!
All we know is: he is most definitely not James May... ;)
 
Now, now.
Don't be picking on "Captain Slow"... :icon_lol:

I think a couple of my most favorite Top Gear episodes are where May turns a Triumph Herald into an amphibious vehicle (sailboat) and then slowly wins the race.
And definitely when he test drove the Veyron to 250mph on that track in Germany.

But no. Definitely not "The Stig".
 
James May was just said a particularly Top Gear-esque statement, I doubt anyone whose ever seen Top Gear would believe it was him.

Anyway, on the BBC news website it says the book is an "autobiography of former Formula Three driver Ben Collins. The book, called The Man In The White Suit, claims Mr Collins is the mystery driver on the BBC Two show."

Why would anyone doubt that?!!

This was only published at noon! Until then, speculations were still ongoing...
I wonder what will happen to the 'white' Stig?
The last one was launched in a car from an aircraft carrier after his identity was revealed.

It's a public secret that there are several 'Stigs'; in case of an expensive or exclusive (Or both) car the 'Stig' is the owner of the car or a factory testdriver. Too give the laptime comparison some credibility it should look like all laps were done by one and the same driver.
 
I was always under the impression that there were several "Stigs", but that Schumacher was the one who worked for them the most....

If you look at several of the older episodes (I have recorded most from BBC America -- where I don't pay a TV Tax) there are several hints made by the cast as to Schumacher's role.

What I really want to know though...who is Mrs. Stig?
