Top Gears Stig to remove helmet

[Trebor901]

I know this isnt sim racing related but i think Top Gear is something we all watch and this is definately news worthy. In my opinion not the best thing they could do. But if its the person people have been saying it is then i seriously doubt that it is the actual stig.

[Eric Nelson]

I thought his identity had been revealed but not officially on the show. Somewhere in this site is a STIG thread.

 

[Trebor901]

ah but tomorrow night a certain 7 times world champion is the person under the helmet when he removes it

 

[Eric Nelson]

well then that narrows it down a bit doesn't it?

don;t tell I want to see it although not sure when it airs in USA. I think in the fall. oh boy

 

[Angus Macdonald]

My money is on having Anne Widdecombe or a horse in there, just for the laugh. Stig will never go public.

indeed, it's been known for almost half a year that it's possibly Ben Collins...

Personally, i would love it if it's Damon Hill. I always had a feeling it could be him. Because when he's around they seem to be so familiar with him...

 

[Trebor901]

trust me on what i wrote because ive been told by a few people who were at filming on Wednesday

 

[Bert Van Waes]

You mean it's gonna be schumacher???

 

[Johannes van Luijk]

To me it sounds like a good way to attracr people to watch the first episode of the new season.

 

[Trebor901]

You mean it's gonna be schumacher???

yes, he was there because they had the Ferrari FXX there and they just wanted to reveal him as the stig for ratings and so people would stop trying to guess who the actual stig was

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

And the Stig is:

[Trebor901]

he's not the real stig it was just a publicity stunt by BBC and Top Gear....... i think

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

That could be, but we will never know

Anyway if it is a stunt, then its a really really good one :good:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Schumy :love:

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Schumy :love:

I actually expected Bram Hengeveld, so im a bit disappointed now

 

[Trebor901]

another thing that makes me think it wouldnt be Schumacher is the fact Ferrari are VERY strict about what cars he's allowed to drive and he has a different build to the "proper" stig

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

he has a different build to the "proper" stig

that one looks a bit thicker right? oh well it adds a bit of mistery to the show

 

[Trebor901]

yeah, i think he was there to drive the FXX and it was too good of an oppertunity for them not to pass him off as the stig

 

[Trebor901]

proof he isnt the stig in the description of this video
