Charlie Cox might be the 'BBC' link in the program, as he is a commentator on their coverage of MotoGP

The lineup to me is media types. Did they really all apply with thier 10min video???? if they wanted these sorts of guys i dont think they needed to go through all the melarki about "anyone can be a presenter" I guess it was good to build interest in the show.

That will be an intersting line up
He's a ripper commentator too! To be honest a few of his comments might rile up a few of the conservatives in Aus, but that'll be just like Clarkson.

Word has it nearly every pro-driver across Australia went for the position. The biggest problem would be keeping people's mouth's shut about who it is, even the bloke under the helmet.

I herd Youlden went for it, and wouldn't surprise me if he gets it.

Not sure of others, but I don't actually want to know who the stig is, someone told me the other day (with no warning btw) who The Stig was, and I nearly knocked him out. [/rant]

So my guess is the (british) Stig reproduced and has created a progeny to star in the Australian version.

There have been a couple of stig's, so it hasn't been totally spoilt for you Mick (unless they told you more than one name )

Mark Skaife as the Stig is laughable. John Bowe is a possiblity, I reckon young Steve Owen could be given a chance as the tamed racing driver.

I could go as the Stig but I could easily be reconised or be mistaken for Clarkson underneath the suit and helmet. We're both the same height and possible shoe size.

It can't be MS. They need someone who can get off the line well and keep it on the track.

I am not stupid (quiet you lot! ), I can tell myself that there have been a few, and lucky enough for this person my facial expression had managed to persuade them to change the tack of the conversation before revealing them to me. I have been informed that this person wrote a half decent autobiography, so I might just read that to ease my hurt.

See, now you've gone and ruined it for a whole new bunch of people.
Fair enough if you want to know, go and search the interweb for it. But don't post it on a forum where people are interested in reading about the Australian version of the show*.

[/rant]

*this doesn't give you license to figure out who the Aussie one is either
