Top Gear - The Stig... Revealed, Posted 22-06-2009, 09:18 AM Quote
Whether it's real, even though probably not, it's still entertaining for entertainment's sake

I guess this means they are really planning to bring back the Black Stig

Have you seen the episode? My guess on it are either;

1) it is a joke
2) he has been "one" of the Stigs (read that it could be more than one person been the Stig) and that we is "retiring" as one of the Stigs as I also read somewhere that if his identity is revealed in anyway (by him or someone else) then the contract is null and void... or something like that...

But would be a fun episode to watch regardless!!!

Yes, that's correct, there are a couple of "Stigs" that TG uses.

Agree... the Top Gear commitment is pretty high; training the "stars" and performing a test on new cars on their circuit each week (even though their season is quite short).

well, at least Schumacher's chin matches the shape of the helmet nicely!

I don't really give a sh*t who Stig is. He could probably be any stunt drivers or motorsport star. It is just a gimmick they use to promote the show I reckon.....

Its implied to be an elaborate joke. Plus I don't think Michael can drive other cars since he has a contract with Ferrari.

Also during the end of the show, Michael and 'The Stig' are separately credited.
