Last week rumors on the true identity of The Stig from Top Gear started leaking out; in his 30s, living in a £300,000 house, driving a ‘boring’ car.
Well, Telegraph UK has staid on this story and just dropped the bomb on The Stig’s true identity after some ‘heavy hitting investigations’. Word is, 33 year-old Ben Collins is in fact The Stig. Mr Collins has a resume you’d expect from someone to don the moniker of ‘The Stig’; A competitor in everything from NASCAR to LeMans as well as a professional Stunt driver – most recently the wheelman for Quantum of Solace.
Well, although everyone has wondered – I guess knowing is a bit of a drag. Kinda like finding out your dad is actually Santa Claus.
