The Stig, Unmasked!!!

bazzachazza · 22-06-2009 05:30PM

I just won twenty quid of a buddy of mine. I had always said that Schumi was the Stig. I was really only guessing but i can't believe i was right....

Don't spend that €20 cause you will have to give it back.

The FXX is one of only 30 in the world. If they won't even let the owner keep the car in his own garage, then they certainly won't let any old F3 driver race the car and crash the car i.e KOnegissskhhieggggggh CCX The Stig is falible.

It took them years to get a common as muck Veyron compared to FXX, i'm sure the contract Ferrari made the BBC sign said only Schui could drive it. Hence no Jezza blattling it around the track.

It was a really exciting moment though wasnt it!

Think he was just the stig for the Ferrari. Prob use different stigs throughout..Great start to the series though!

You'd want to be either stupid or just ignorant to believe Schumacher is The Stig. This is just brilliant publicity & marketing.

He's about the only guy on the planet that actually owns his own FXX & can do as he pleases with it.

The real Stig probably wasn't allowed or couldn't get insured to drive an FXX. We all seen what happened to the Koenigsegg!!!!!

I'd sooner believe it was Sabine Schmitz! That woman is amazing & nobody can lap Nürburgring quicker than her. The Top Gear Test Track hasn't a patch on it.

While I'm a big fan of Sabine She is not the fastest person around the Ring

he was at one of the irish shows last year in the vip bit schumi stood for photo's apparently .more than likely bollix from a mate but i would love if it was him but like santa it just isnt real

some say he's Michael Schumacher, and that he has multiple bodies

all I know is that I'm confused

Red Sleeping Beauty · 26-06-2009 04:17PM

Nah, I can't believe it was Schumacker all along. He'd have better things to do I'd imagine.

Hmmmm...... I wonder how quick they'd get around in a Ford Transit!!!

She wasn't competing with those drivers or competing in the same cars.

Drivers go there all the time to test cars. Manufacturers sent cars there to be hammered around all the time.

Sabine is the Goddess of the Ring & I still consider her the fastest.

hahaha, I nearly choked on my beer when Schumacher emerged from the helmet :pac::pac::pac:

I'm still not 100% sure its Ben Collins, I wouldn't put it past the Top Gear crew to play pranks on the public

it's really annoyiing me with all the farmers around the place saying "Jaysus boys, did ye seee top geeeerrr, michael shoemaker is the ****ing shtick"

Mac Masters · 05-07-2009 12:57PM

No, I'm Spartacus!

I mean ..... I'm the stig!

mickdw · 08-07-2009 11:18PM

When are we going to see the proper lap that schumi did in the reasonably priced car. When they finally say that he is not the stig I suppose

I think he is still under contract with Ferrari. He can't drive a non-Ferrari car on TV or whatever.

I think that the fact we know who the stig is now is a pity. It was a little fun trying to guess who it was!
