I'd like it to be Sabine(+1 on the backdoors BTW..)and when she blasted the trannie van round the nurbugring she was kinda hunched over the wheel but Tiff is a stronger possibility IMO...! but I must agree with the rally style sideways action too... OMG! who is it..?

no just sacked from sky sports lol

I am unsure as to who it is.
But after reading ben collins book I felt he just wanted to move on with his life top gear is an awesome programme and the stig is an essential part of that and ben was responseable for thar persona that the stig gave

Now do you believe me when I say its a certain Scandinavian ex rally champion...? As good as Tiff is, he's not capable of that in a rally car IMO!

You are joking aren't you?
Standing around not talking, even Perry Mcarthy managed that!

Interesting though, that Perry wanted more of a role in the show too. You'd have thought that Ben would have taken the hint from what happened there.

not sure on who it is but they are not only faster than ben colins but they seem to be able to teach better aswell, there is now way that the car is 3-4 secs quicker than the last series so the new stig either has a better line around the track or can teach alot better.

the stig character has been much the same for a few series now, i think they should unmask the stig and just have another presenter (can still be classed as the resident race driver) this will keep things fresh.

I'm sure they use different drivers all the time that's part of the reason for the whole stig persona.

It was a rally driver in the proton last but not a Scandinavian one if it's who I think it was! (who I know has been over filming a few sequences for this series of top gear and the rally stig's build, footwork and car handling was very familiar looking.)

Tiff Needell did the atom lap wearing one of James May's doggy tops and I think he filled in as the "Star in the car" instructor on one episode but thats it.
I don't thinks its Sabine either and Anthony Davidson is a peugeot works driver so he may not have the time.

Excuse my question but does Stig mean anything in English? I associated the term The Stig to a rather know rally car driver from Sweden in the 70's and 80`s I think. His name is Stig Blomqvist. Stig translates into the word path or trail in Swedish.
