The Stig is the mysterious Top Gear test driver. Top Gear is BBC's car TV series. Nobody is supposed to know who he is. The name Stig is derived from the first, well, Stig who was Perry McCarthy. The BBC first choose some other name for the test driver which McCarthy found sounding crap. So, he came up with The Stig.

Apparently Perry McCarthy was to be called "The Gimp" after a charector from the film Resevoir Dogs but he didn't like it and chose to be called "The Stig"instead. But I think that the BBC decided that they woudn't use the name because they didn,t want to be associated with "Team Zarse" got there first When you think about it would Perry McCarthey really want to stand outside The Poo Bar wearing nothing but a gimpmask and a pair of underpants?  Unless you know different. |

Did they not give Mark Webber a t shirt on a recent program that said " I am the Stig" on it.

just a tad off topic but
has the stig done a lap in the resonably priced car?
if so, how does it compare to Mark Wedders and Damon Hill's lap time.

I was pretty sure that he did do a lap in the reasonably price car, but cant see any mention of it on the website, so i may have just been dreaming about the mysterious masked motoring marvel!!!  |
