A identidade do «The Stig», o piloto mistério do programa de televisão Top Gear, conhecido pelo seu fato e luvas brancas, acaba de ser revelada. O nome do piloto de 33 anos é Ben Collins e do seu currículo constam participações na Fórmula 3, Le Mans, GT e Nascar. Mais recentemente, Collins participou como duplo nas cenas de condução do Aston Martin DBS, no último filme de James Bond.

A verdadeira identidade do piloto secreto do Top Gear terá sido descoberta, quando este se dirigiu a uma galeria de arte para o ajudarem a fazer um trabalho com os seus melhores momentos de condução. Alegadamente, um construtor civil que se encontrava a fazer obras em sua casa também terá encontrado o famoso conjunto de fato e luvas brancas.

A identidade do «The Stig» não foi oficialmente confirmada pela BBC. De acordo com um porta-voz do programa Top Gear: «Nunca comentamos especulações acerca de quem é o Stig».

Graham Hill as the StigTop Gear’s mystery test driver is legendary dead racer Graham Hill, according to someone or other The Mole spoke to.

The identity of the hit TV show’s famous wheelman will come as a shock to the dozens of petrolheads worldwide who had speculated that the man in the white suit was GP World Champion Damon Hill.

“To find out that it’s actually his dad will come as a shock,” said a man yesterday.

In an alleged plot believed to have cost the licence payer millions of pounds, BBC bosses apparently helped Graham Hill fake his own death in a plane crash.

According to Mole sources, the BBC knew as far back as 1974 that one day they’d hire Jeremy Clarkson to front their motoring show which didn’t exist yet, and that Jeremy would probably go to a school where they called new boys ‘Stigs’, and that in 2002 he’d probably invent an anonymous racing driver and probably give him that same name.

So they approached Graham Hill, whose professional driving career was over at that point, and asked him to crash a plane and then hide in a bush until he got the call from the Top Gear team 20 odd years later,” said a BBC insider.

He added: “The BBC does make a mess of some things but they’re pretty good at forward planning.”

The mystery driver’s identity was uncovered when a cleaner discovered some empty tins of moustache wax in a Mclaren SLR that the Stig had just lapped round the Top Gear test track.

“I found the tins and the penny dropped,” said the cleaner. “I mean when did you ever see Graham Hill without his moustache on?” Or something like that, anyway.

Afinal quem são o Stig?

O Daily Mail afirma ter desvendado o mais bem guardado segredo da imprensa automóvel europeia: afinal quem é o Stig?

Ora, segundo o jornal inglês não há um, nem dois, nem três..., nem quatro..., mais sim 8 (OITO) Stigs! A investigação à identidade-mistério do piloto de testes da Top Gear que aparece sempre de fato e capacete brancos indica que pelo menos oito condutores já vestiram esse fato.

Entre os Stigs já identificados estão Heikki Kovalainen, piloto de F1, Chris Goodwin, dos GT, Julian Bailey, os pilotos de acrobacias Russ Swift e Terry Grant (os portugueses conhecem-no das piruetas no Roadshow Renault F1) e Dan Lang, um piloto sueco de motos de neve.
