I heard that the Stig is a WTCC driver I forgot his name. On a particular dutch car TV show he was interviewed (with helmet on) and he talked. I believe for this particular episode Ferrari loaned Michael Schumacher who happens to have had the most testing on the FXX or definitely the most input.
Neat episode nevertheless.
yeah, not really stig.
its been said that the stig is multiple drivers, which i definitely see being possible.
they said if the stigs identity was ever exposed by a cast member or himself, that he would be fired.
Darien and gallags, one question. R U FREAKN KIDDIN ME?! U guys are totally unaware of the best tv show made, EVER!

Is this the same Top Gear that features the no-talent Brits that do nothing but belittle anything American? I can't watch more than a minute or two before I start feeling ill.
Ford could build a 500 hp car with a hybrid engine getting 100+ miles per gallon, the exterior could be beautiful, the ride perfect, and an interior like heaven (made from the softest baby seal skins), and they would still find a reason to hate it. Sounds like quality TV time to me...
I do have to agree with Retired General they are a bit too biased against American cars. I'm not saying the Mustang is perfect which is far from it but come on some of the reviews are downright insulting. I used to like the format back when Tiff Nedell and Quentin Wilson (read eons ago) were doing the reviewing. They were honest, Nedell was a demon at the wheel and Jeremy Clarkson's ego hadn't outgrown the size of his head just yet. Just looking at the non UK top gears i.e. Australian Top Gear etc. you can see what I mean.

Did you see the way they butchered the SVT Lightning a few years ago?
Well it didn't help that a custom shop over there converted it to right hand drive when Ford never made a right hand drive Lightning. That truck was butchered and deserved how they talked about it. Would have been a different story with a factory Lightning.
Everyone should watch Top Gear. They have a very no BS approach to testing cars and their challenges are usually hillarious. They have had multiple people as the Stig. I think 2 different drivers leaked their identity as the Stig and were promtly fired and replaced.

I guess...but let’s call a spade a spade here. There's nothing overly special about the Lightning beyond a few body enhancements and a hard hitting supercharged power train. The rest of the truck is basically the same low tech so so quality '96-'04 F150 it always was. They really didn't say anything about it that wasn't true? Why do you think Ford took such a huge step forward when the new F150's hit the streets a few years back?Did you see the way they butchered the SVT Lightning a few years ago?
