I had never heard the drivers name till today. What a shame that he thought that writing his autobiography and saying he was the stig would being him riches. Hopefully the next stig will have these rights taken away. Sorry for being a killjoy it was so nice not knowing who the stig was. I am sure that only for his involvement in the programme he would never have written the blasted book. Incidentely, autobiographies are my favourite read and along with Tony Blairs they will both remain unread by me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

"Only a handful of people on Top Gear knew the identity of The Stig - including hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May."

I always hoped that it would be the "tottie" who worked for top gear earlier. Have been taken in by the slight build of Stig. Will never watch top gear again as I have been unwitingly lusting after a bloke ! Should I go to litigation claiming a traumatised sex drive (excuse pun) ?

"The name of the white-suited Stig, beloved of the show’s hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, has been an open secret within the motoring world for some years, but the media have refrained from publishing his name to uphold the spirit of the programme." 2009



This is the bit that makes a nonsense of ""Only a handful of people on Top Gear knew the identity of The Stig - including hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May."

Groucho: Quite.. I REALLY don't understand the BBC going to such lengths as it had been nationally 'revealed' a year ago..



Mr Collins clearly can't have expected to stay on once the content of his book was revealed ... may be the BBC should sue him as he signed a non-disclosure agreement ...



My vote vote for for a certain ex Brawn test driver - who comments on F1 for BBC Radio 5 - and drives a Le Mans type racing car for Peugeot to 'replace' White Stig.. I wonder what colour the overalls / helmet will be ?
