BC....?

Ben Collins?

Cannot think of anyone else with those initials. No offence to Ben, but he's hardly F1 material - good sportscar driver that he might be - but impressing Alonso?

I reckon its still El Pel - right build for him - and Julian Bailey would not fit in that suit!

F1 » The Stig is 'seriously good' says F1 champ

The Stig - the popular hero of BBC motoring show Top Gear - impresses Renault's double F1 world champion Fernando Alonso at Silverstone ahead of last weekend's British Grand Prix, the Spaniard reckoning that he is 'definitely ex-F1'...

Is the stig still Perry Mcarthy? I had heard rumours he wasnt doing it anymore...

Read his book a couple of months back. Very funny and informative view on motorsport at that time. :)

No, Pel got the push some time back. Is it REALLY a secret who The Stig is? Thought it was open knowledge it was a Brit race driver with the initials B C

Most people including Wikipedia agree about the BC theory, but it IS a moveable feast, nothing to stop them kitting up someone like Damon Hill, Martin Brundle or even Lewis (if his dad said it was OK)in the suit and helmet for a one off drive for charity...

Now that would be good, if it turned out Alonso was actually paying Lewis a compliment without knowing it :D

Mr. Davo - Read the news article properly. Stig gave ride to his passengers, just before the race, how does that explain LH being Stig?? His Dad doesn't let him compete against JB for Charity Triathalon, this is all the more risky venture.Control Freak Ron Dennis would throw fits if his contracted driver goes about driving in non racing event. LH was not allowed to participate in RoC last year by CF Ronn Dennis.

As for FA praising his competition, he will do that as long as he is not in direct competition.He has come out in defense of his former team-mate in recent times only to be bashed by some petty fans on various internet forums. :-o :-o

I've heard from a good source that "The Stig" is Julian Bailey the ex-touring car driver.

However, Mick if you are so sure who it is then please do tell :)
