The Stig 'preparing to reveal identity'
Sunday, June 21 2009, 09:55 BST

By Lara Martin, Entertainment Reporter


Jeremy Clarkson has claimed that his Top Gear co-star The Stig will finally be unmasked in tonight's episode.

The identity of the test driver, who wears a white racing suit and white crash helmet, has remained a mystery for years, prompting several theories about who is really under the mask.

Writing in The Sun, host Clarkson said: "Stig barges into the studio and in an atmosphere that you could cut with a knife removes his helmet.

"Hardened, emotionless camera crews said the hair on the back of their neck prickled. As a television moment, it's up there with Neil Armstrong walking on the... corpse of J.R. Ewing."

Reports had previously suggested that The Stig was actually portrayed by four different individuals, while others have claimed that he is a Norwegian or French racing driver.

Last year, the query 'Who is The Stig?' was revealed to be one of the most frequently searched questions on the internet.
:shocked:

Is it really gonna happen!?! I can see it being a joke but I am eagerly awaiting Top Gear tonight if this is the case.

It does kind of look like Button, but isn't Jenson's eyes blue? Those look kinda dark.

But wasnt the first Stig sacked because everyone found out who it was, so if it was Jenson Button wouldn't he have been sacked too?

Can't wait to see though, I hope its not a stunt and he has a mask on underneath or something :bored:

I think there's been a few stigs, but the first few were revealed. But this is the longest serving one... iirc.

Clarkson added: "As a television moment it's up there with Neil Armstrong walking on the...corpse of JR Ewing."

He said Stig's identity would be a "staggering surprise" to viewers.

Iceman 21-06-2009 05:24 PM

I bet they are gonna reveal it to be Hammond as a joke!

Mrluvaluva 21-06-2009 05:27 PM

Yeah. It's most probably a stunt.

Kore 21-06-2009 05:27 PM

That person is the most succesful F1 driver in the history of the sport!

Mrluvaluva 21-06-2009 07:42 PM

I'm amazed they did it. Is it for real?

Lewis. 21-06-2009 07:46 PM

I didn't think they would do it :0

Hugo 21-06-2009 07:46 PM

haha can't believe it.

Iceman 21-06-2009 07:47 PM

I think next week they will have the stig walk up to a car and Schumacher walk by!

Yeah sometimes like that :laugh: I THINK I remember a picture of the stig and schumacher together though. I'll see if I can find.

Edit: I can't, maybe I was wrong..

pinkmichk 21-06-2009 07:50 PM

:bored: i thought it was just gonna be a ploy to get more viewers i'm hoping he isnt really and it was just a stunt

andyman 21-06-2009 07:51 PM

Hmmmm i dont know, we need to see video from the past to know 100% that he is the Stig.

30stone 21-06-2009 07:52 PM

It can't be a stunt who else can beat webber hamilton and button?

merijaan 21-06-2009 07:53 PM

Schumacher my ass read my thread, BS!

andyman 21-06-2009 07:53 PM

The Stig can never have a face.. If he is the Stig then maybe Top Gear is going to end like Big Brother.

Why not over money???

He's one of the best (if not the best) drivers in the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig

On June 21, 2009 it was 'revealed' on-air that The Stig is Michael Schumacher.

What aload of rubbish

bansheewails 21-06-2009 07:58 PM

That IS not the stig. He is too short and too thin. The stig is nearly as big as Jeremy. Remember the race through london? Watch that episode! Its a con,, next week it will be mansel or someone.

Iceman 21-06-2009 07:59 PM

I think that he was the stig, I don't think he does the races with Jeremy and that now though.

Kore 21-06-2009 08:00 PM

wow yeah, schumacher it is. all pages on wikipedia are already updated LOL

pinkmichk 21-06-2009 08:06 PM

going on that end bit he wasnt the stig but was a good stunt??

James 21-06-2009 08:25 PM

He's not usually The Stig. But when they test some supercars the car manufacturer sends its own test driver. So Ferrari sent Schumacher for the FXX.

When they put the Renault F1 car on the track a few years ago The Stig was Heikki Kovalainen, who was Renault F1 test driver at that time.

pinkmichk 21-06-2009 08:39 PM

ahhhh thanks james for that so the secret remains as to who the real stig is

GiRTh 22-06-2009 11:41 AM

I didnt think it could have been Schumacher either. I doubt if Schumacher had the time to test so many cars when he was drving for Ferrari. Also, hasnt Clarkson made some derogatory comments about Scumacher over the years. I doubt Clarrckson would do that if Schumacher was on the Top Gear payroll.

Corkie 22-06-2009 01:17 PM

Lol, He obvs isn't The Stig. How on earth would they be able to pay for Michael Schumacher and also why would they have him on since 2002 and just reveal now?

Also they questioned whether it was him at the end of the show. :rolleyes:
