Is this Top Gear’s Stig?
A few minutes back I saw the local news here. As most of you now I’m living in the nicest part of Belgium, Limburg. And the race circuit of Zolder is almost in my backyard. Now it happens to be that the people of Top Gear rented this particular race track for a couple of days to make some shoots.
One of the things they did was drive around the track, or part of the track with some customized cars. They made a double-decker car to race in. The one that sits below controls the speed and brakes and the one on top steers. From the few things I’ve seen on the news it must be lots of fun to drive this way. 
But at the end of the short video, they showed the Stig without a helmet!
Here’s the link to the video I’m talking about, thx to www.TVL.be
Now the only thing we have to work out is it really the Stig or are they just messing with us.
I did a little research and compared a few pictures of known race drivers, but till now I can’t seem to recognize him.
Anyone of you recognizes him? Shout your names here, and we’ll investigate it further.
Update!!!!
Thx to some friends of me, we think we found out who this bloke is. It’s German’s, yes that’s right a German driver, Tim Schrick. The resemblance is hard to miss.

Did anyone even watch it?!
Yes, that is Tim Schrick, but if you actually saw the programme Tim Schrick was racing agaisnst The Stig. Schrick in a Porsche, Stig in an Aston Martin. The programme shows Tim Schrick wearing white… wearing white doesn’t make you The Stig..

Plus, the whole competition was England vs. Germany, so why would Tim Schrick be driving for the English?
They had double-decker cars, which the Germans won.
Mini Cooper challenge which the Germans won.
Bowler Wildcat, which we won.
Porsche (TIM SCHRICK) vs. Aston (STIG) round the track which we won, even with a 4 second penalty, so what I’m saying, we are the best and Tim Schrick isn’t The Stig!!

Indeed, I’ve noticed it also that he isn’t the Stig. But if you looked at the video he’s wearing almost the same outfit as the Stig.
Anyway they fooled me
But the Stig must be one heck of a good driver if you’ve seen this episode.
Back to the drawing bord again to unmask the Stig

if you search youtube theres some very strong evidence pointing the identity of the stig strongly in the direction of ben colins, who is widely renowned as one of the worlds most talented racing drivers
