Who is 'The Stig'?

[xud]

Do you mean the old one who wore the black helmet or the new one who wears white?

[Toneisok]

He's a young smelly lad, lives in a dump.

[Iggle Piggle]

First Stig (black helmet) was Perry Mcarthy, a former racing driver, the second Stig..... who knows? but maybe a retired or semi retired F1 driver, or team test driver.

[Panic Button]

Julian Bailey. Ex F1

[Reverandfunk]

Keith Jayne played him in the TV and he is also to be admired for his sterling acting and that in "Murphys Mob".

[Cynic No1]

'The Stig' changes every couple of seasons - as has been answered Julian Bailey ans Perry McCarthy were just two of them.
