I don't believe he's been doing it since the Black Stig.

How much is the license fee again?

Im convinced this is a one off.

A cheap way to get around star in a car, and also get rid of press speculation. I still think its Ben Collins as he has appeared quite a few times during various team events etc.

The real Stig will show up at some point hopefully.

Even though i knew already, that reveal was amazing.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't him and they got him to drive the new Ferarri and for an interview.

I don't think it was him in all episodes, they probably got a different guy when he wasn't available.

Maybe the real stig is going to walk onto set later and show it isn't actually him? :lol:

Ben Collins was already semi-confirmed to be one of the main Stigs.

Or maybe 2 or 3 stigs will appear. However from seeing the season preview there was a coffin and a scantily clad woman. This means fake funeral. Stig will die in some form. perhaps White stig will be dead and a new one will arrive.

The chances of him having ever been the Stig in any other episode other than this one are remote.

Surely all the 'stars' would figure out who it was as well.

Yes, but they have some professional integrity and keep it pretty much a secret.

@ the bacon!

The Vincent is beautiful.

So May and Hammond are on the same stretch of road but one's getting bright sunshine and the other is getting a downpour?

:fp:

Hammond is WAYYYYY behind. May is in MCN country now.

It was raining on him before he overtook May though

It only drizzled on him early in the race. It didn't downpour until he broke down, at which point he was already behind due to the fuel stop which caused his breakdown in the first place.
