A clip from a Dutch tv program where the stig speaks!

wow good find, aparently he "sounds remarkably like damon hill"
Also sounds a lot like Jenson Button...
His true identity has been known a while http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig
His accent isn't what I expected though. Thought he;d sound older.
Reading that, only the "first" Stig was identified. Whether the same driver is still driving wasn't mentioned. However, it is an interesting point that F1 drivers take the same different line to the Stig, suggesting that he might not be a F1 driver. Of course, it could just be an elaborate ruse...Originally Posted by chuckskull
Yeah, the original Stig was identified (in McCarthy's autobiography I think) then promptly killed off !
Common rumours about the current Stig seem to indicate it's a few different folks. Suppose it'd have to be, like in the Winter Olympics version when "Stig" was on a snowmobile seemingly it was some Swedish pro snowmobile fella.
Dunno who the "regular" one is though.
Russ Swift always seemed likely to play at least some part and he seems to be the bookies favourite at the mo. His recent comments have added fuel to the fire but then he could be arsing about, much as Damon Hill has seemingly been prone to. Although I think Hill, currently anyway, has far too much on with other commitments to be arsing about on a test track
I thought it must have been an F1 driver of some sort after he took the Renault F1 car round a couple of years back but then it turned out that was Heikki Kovaleinen.

And in the one in America, I'm pretty sure that was a diffrent guy as well.
It was in Flat Out, Flat Broke by Perry, and it's the best motor-racing book I've read. 100% Awesome.
Ben Collins is generally thought to be the most frequent Stig. That Stig sounds more like Collins than Hill I think, but it's difficult to tell with the slight muffle.
That could have been anyone to be honest! I know one thing, it wasn't a fat stig - that was certainly a fat suit - the thin neck gave it away as much as the obvious paddingAnd in the one in America, I'm pretty sure that was a diffrent guy as well.
It would be stupid of them to use different Stig's in each episode. I bet it's some obscure driver that nobody's heard of.
Anyway didn't Clarkson say he doesn't want to do another series?

Vodka
what do we pay our tv licenses for? i would only watch top gear if i had a choice.
Yup, spend my entire TV license on him.
I wouldn't be too bothered if he wasn't in it, the other 2 are funny enough, I would just hope they didn't replace with an ex racing driver - they are always rubbish at tv presenting.He wants more money then
Stealth Geek - And Proud!
Who do you think writes all the other's 'adlib' and scripts?
