so Michael Schumacher reveal was just for the show since it was not real identity of THE STIG? The Stig's ID is 'Top Gear' secret no more - Yahoo! News
i just dont see how it will ruin the show? it doesnt matter to me, only thing that would matter if they suddenty put different driver in and he wasnt as good or was better then previous so it could have changed lap times but then again they do dry and wet laps and post them on same wall, not sure how that sets a mark
I think they should sub in Kryten from Red Dwarf as Stig. They fired the last Stig when he was exposed, I agree I dont understand what the big deal is.. but whatever.
He was the main Stig, but not the sole Stig. The personnel changed at various times, especially when certain Ferraris were being timed.
yeah the coolest part was not knowing who he is.... and the funny stuff he did lol like falling asleep in the audi S4 before he was gonna race the cadillac CTS V back in the day. or the v8 M3, vs the RS4, and the C63 AMG merc. All really funny.
That's pretty lame. Who's really going to care about The Stig when you know who he is? No point in calling him that if he has a name... his real name that we now all know.
I kindda disagree here. It does rank up there with the great genius remove-the-human part of entertainment. Other notables... 1. The Gorillaz. No worries about ODs, hotel trashings, underage girls, coke busts, etc. Just brillaint! 2. "Jack" in the Jack In The Box commercials. An anonymous dude with a foam Jack head. I doubt he's going to be calling for a raise as he is "irreplaceable". 3. The Ziploc "smiley face on an index finger". You wanna talk about a low cost star?! Face it, the Stig is at least 10% of the show and he doesn't get to cash in on his work like the others do. I can totally see that guy's point and don't begrudge him a minute for trying to get his fair share of the franchise he helped build. Who cars about the Kabuki aspect? We don't know any of these guys anyway.
