I think its a stunt and turn out to be some other celebrity leading to further speculation as to the true identity of Stig.
A ratings booster me thinks.

Will be a shame if they do unveil him as I like the mystery.

I heard its will be Schumi under the helmet. But its just an audience grabber.

 

Indeed, everyone who's even vaguely interested already knows that it's mostly Ben Collins, apart from when the car's owner provides their own driver, like Nick Mason with his Enzo.

 

Still not in HD

 

I bet its going to be someone silly such as James may or Murray walker to hide the identities of the other stigs.

 

Top gear has really bad ratings, they need something like this to keep them up there .

 

Looks like JK

 

shumacher has now got the job of the stig it seems!

 

See my post above
