Default Top Gear

Somehow I missed all this until now, but it appears racing driver Ben Collins is the Stig. Anyone know more about this?

Here's the article I saw:

Yeah, heard about that a few months ago. He shouldn't have written that book... now he is probably going to be replaced, just like the black stig.

He has been replaced. Top Gear is running a new season right now and there is a new stig.

There are a few episodes where the cast shuns off Ben Collins as a rat. Well not by name but the Stig.

He was the Stig in the UK version of theshow. The new one with the comedian and drifter and whiny guy is the American version, with an American Stig

The UK version has a new stig but I strongly suspect it's Tiff Needle doing some favours for his old company until they find a new one. I'm just saying this since the new one has a very oversteery driving style.

Bah...they thought it was Tiff the first time round.
