The Stig unmasked: Clarkson says test driver will finally take off his helmet on tomorrow's show | Mail Online

 

[Mabs]

he'll have a fireproof balaclava on anyway underneath ?

 

[Kryten]

won't that impede his sex life?

 

[00dave]

erm....is it really him?

 

[Ch3tan]

LOL no, great publicity stunt.

 

[00dave]

lol wikipedias been updated already. I'm still waiting for the punchline.

 

[ECA]

There's probably going to be a new "Stig" unveiled every week.

 

[Embattle]

My sister spotted it wasn't the real stig right away since he is talller than MS, just the usual TG fun. I suspect the FXX was either MS own personal one or was the only person allowed to drive it either way it was a great TG.

 

[Kryten]

Aye, that FXX was a stonking monster. I was dribbling seriously over the Lotus beforehand as it looked real good fun to drive - then saw that monster. My dribble turned black.
Plus of course Michael Stigmacher was taking different lines through the corners of the track in the FXX - a league apart in driving ability to The Stig, and I suspect if he was behind the wheel of some of the other cars you could easily shave a good couple of seconds off.

 

[Chilly]

hmm so its not really a valid time. bit of a shame. they should get the real stig to do a lap too - FOR SCIENCE!

 

[Wij]

I thought they only allowed cars that you could drive on real roads. They disqualified that one that looked like an F1 car with headlamps because it was utterly impractical on a road. The FXX isn't allowed off the track.

 

[Chilly]

ah, but is it road legal?

 

[Fweddy]

ah, but is it road legal?

Not according to Wikipedia.

 

[Wij]

In that case why not put all the F1 cars round the track ?

I call shenannigans !!!

 

[Overdriven]

Interesting. But yeah, doubt it was him also.

 

[Nate]

It has to be an English bloke, it's what the shows all about! Well other then cars.

 

[DaGaffer]

I thought everyone already knew who the Stig really is?

 

[TdC]

so. who saw that coming?

 

[TdC]

haha spoke too soon
