Animal I suppose.

The first Stig was Perry Mcarthy ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/essex/features/essex_celeb/st
ig.shtml ) though some people also quoted french driver Nicolas Minassian in the running but the new stig hasn't came to light yet.....he has a slightly more ragged driving style leading the thoughts in the direction of a rally driver rather than a track racer though this could just be subterfuge to throw people of the scent and it could still be Macarthy.....or perhaps Colin McRae has found something to do?.....someone has suggested it's this guy http://www.bencollinsracing.com/ but I don't think so.

The rumour I heard was that The Stig was not now one guy, but that each motor manufacturer sent their own driver. This way they get the best out of each car and the BBC can refute any accusations of bias - after all given the visibility of Top Gear these days it's quite a PR disaster if the car posts a so-so lap-time. So effectively The Stig is now just a set of overalls...

if notthatsure is right....then which Stig takes the celebrities out each week to give them tips before their laps?? is there the same guy there each week for the "reasonably priced car" (i forget the make, sorry)??? Not sure this is likely to be honest??!! it would also mean in any one filming session, there are several Stigs around..... I'd heard that last years Stig spoke with a French accent so maybe sft42s Nicolas Minassian was right, or maybe he was putting it on to throw folk!?? I quite like that we'll never know. Like never seeing Marris...or Charlie of angels fame.., or Meena's face (one for the Scots there)..........

It is Jay Kay
