There are multiple Stigs. I believe this is the theory the majority of folks on here (myself included) believe to be true.

That was the point of doing a screenshot, as opposed to cut and pasting.

Oh my god, it just fits perfect and nobody ever suspected this:

The Stig is clearly Sami Naceri from "Taxi", "Taxi 2", et cetera..:

Then why did you read the thread when the first words in the first post are- "Top Gear's The Stig- Unmasked at Last?"

Does anybody know where/when/why this was photographed???

I wonder if it was a media setup, to direct so much light into his helmet at the correct angle or whatever that it would become transparent!

Is Ben Collin's short? In the show, he looks about my height, 170cm.

As I said in the other thread, it's Ben Collins. There are a lot of clues that it's him; for example:

http://www.collinsautosport.com/film2.php

http://www.collinsautosport.com/film_nascar.php

Now, we just need to find out who the other Stig(s) is/are. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Just out of interest what is Ben Collins doing at the minute? I haven't heard any news of him racing anywhere or training. Because it is possible that he could be doing filming for the next series of Top Gear.

He was doing the MPH show in South Africa a few weeks ago.

It doesn't make a difference to me to know who the Stig's real identity is, I have no clue about racing car drivers images/smilies/lol.gif

But I do believe in the theory of multiple Stigs.
