I wondered if it might be Blomqvist, but having seen the show, The Stig looks rather too slim and youthful to be our old rallying friend.

But I very much doubt he's an F1 driver, so maybe this thread ought to be in the Gravel Trap (along with Clarkson in that Suzuki... )

Was it just me, or did anyone else think Stig looked very feminine?

In a Suzuki lainoiey thingy.

They didn't show the difference in a proper car. I think The Stig may just have been a little nearer the edge in the Zonda and Lambo than JC was...

Shame.

I thought the difference was more than 1s. More like 2s or 3s. Have to check out the leader board next time. It's still quite a bit over a 50s lap. It's not as if Jeremy is a complete novice. Not a racing driver, but after all those years of driving must be able to set one pretty decent lap.

D'you think we'll ever find out who Stig is or is it just a cover for the fact that they'll put a different driver in the test car each week so there won't be any consistency in the testing?

I'd love to know who it is though...

Nicolas Minassian- The Stig is not english, that's why he is disguised. It's obvious, The Stig has been said to have a French accent and Minassian is sponsored by Top gear. Get an outline of Minassian, and place it over the stig, they are almost identical.

The stig is Nicolas Minassian!

I'm guessing theyv'e brought back Tiff Needel but since he is contracted to Channel 5's "5th gear" they have to hide his face.

No?

It is definately not Tiff, far from it, the only person that has evidnce behind them is Minassian.

Yeah probably, Clarkson wouldn't have been able to hold back on the Tiff insults.
