BBC Top Gear’s Stig finally unmasked

September 1st, 2010

The identity of “The Stig,” the mystery test car driver on the popular BBC TV motoring show “Top Gear” was revealed on Wednesday after the broadcaster lost a legal battle to keep his name secret.
Ben Collins, who began his racing career in 1994 and drove at Formula 3 level, was named as The Stig after London’s High Court refused to grant a temporary injunction preventing the revelation of his identity in an upcoming book.
