Apperently it's quite routine for Ferrari and other top manufacturers to send their own man along for the fast lap
Ben Collins does most of the training and other laps like chasing Clarkson etc
However one of the reasons you never see the fast lap Stigs out side the cars is so you can't judge their height against the car and therefore see they are different

You'll be telling me next it's all off the cuff banter and they just do everything by the seat off their pants and hope nothing goes wrong

Smoke and Mirrors that's all it is albeit very well done


Intergeri I think that is the first time I've ever read one of your post's that isn't a demotavational poster
Nice one :D

There are a few 'Stigs', depending on who is available. Two regular ones have been 'let go' after they outed themselves. The latest, Ben Collins, never spoke because he had a strong West Country accent.

The name Stig comes from Clarkson's schooldays: it was the name for new boys at Repton.

Nothing at all - just distinctive.
I'm from near 'Sharston' myself - but not so young.

There really are some gullible people out there

I was genuinely fooled. :( I thought it really could be schumacher but he's too old.

I like to think stig never wore a helmet and it was michael jackson all along. Before he died of course...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8119951.stm
