Default The Stig Revealed - For Real

Here's a UK website run jointly by Top Gear and Nissan Motor GB to promote the Nissan 370 Z: http://traitors.topgear.com

Here's the "Terms and Conditions" Page: http://traitors.topgear.com/terms/

Here's item #21 from the "Terms and Conditions" page: "21. Ben Collins Auto-sport has third party and public liability insurance cover for all of its operation. All winners are recommended to take out Personal Accident insurance prior to participation in the Track Day/driving challenges or Nissan 370Z loan available from the Promoters."

Here's some recent speculation on the issue from Jalopnik: http://jalopnik.com/5134338/the-stig-is-ben-collins

But the evidence from the Top Gear/Nissan site is incontrovertible (and, doubtless, required by Collins' solicitors).

In the inimitable words of (Chief) Inspector Jacques Clouseau, "The mystery, she is solve-d."

Regards to all.

The date's a coincidence. The UK website's real.

Who cares about the UK Stig?
I want to know whether or not his US cousin Big Stig is Tony Stewart.

This is so old news, Ben Collins has been known at least for a year.

Agree that the rumors have been persistent. The difference is, this is proof.
