UK members will know of the BBC motoring series, Top Gear, with their 'tame racing driver', the mysterious Stig.
Nobody knows his identity, until tonight, as he will be exposed!
uk.news.yahoo.com...
Should be worth a look, BBC2, 8.00 pm tonight, UK time.
Roy.

Breaking News Mousavi Pushes For Iran Protests Amid Deaths Top Gear's Stig is finally unveiled 31 mins ago Press Assoc. * Print Story
Michael Schumacher revealed himself as Top Gear's mysterious test driver the Stig. Skip related content Related photos / videos Stig revealed his
face on Top Gear The former Formula One driver took off the Stig's famous white helmet during an interview with presenter Jeremy Clarkson after the
studio audience urged him to reveal his true identity. Clarkson jokingly pretended not to recognise Schumacher and asked him what his name was before
he became famous as the Stig, before excitedly shouting to the audience: "It's Michael Schumacher!" The Stig test drives cars around the Top Gear
track in Dunsfold Park, Surrey, and trains each week's guest for their lap for the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car feature. His identity has a
closely guarded secret although many people have speculated that the famous white overalls and helmet are shared by several drivers. Silly rumours
about the Stig have been used to add to the mystery surrounding the character who never speaks to camera. In Sunday's show, Clarkson quizzed
Schumacher about some of the rumours, asking: "Are you illegal in 17 US states?" Schumacher, who was Formula One world drivers' champion seven
times, replied: "No, it's much exaggerated. It's only nine." Clarkson then asked about another rumour: "Some people have told us you only know
two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong. Is that true?" Schumacher replied "Well obviously they won't fly" and was quickly interrupted by
Clarkson who said: "No, they were right, you don't know anything about ducks." Former Formula One driver Perry McCarthy was Top Gear's original
Stig, who dressed all in black during the first two series. He was replaced with the current Stig, dressed in white, after he revealed his
identity.

Yeah it's a work obviously.
The Stig isn't a Formula 1 driver, he takes a different race line than all the F1 drivers they've put round the track.

Is it true???
BBC have spent alot of money on hiding who the Stig really is, it's what makes the show not knowing who he/she really is.
I don't think it is him.

It's not.
It was, however, Michael's FXX that they tested - he probably wouldn't let anyone else drive it, so they did the stig gag.
An what's the deal with the FXX going on the power lap board? That's hardly street legal...

Good thing it isn't really Michael Schumaker. I'd have to stop watching Top Gear.
He premeditated and executed a plan to murder Jaques Villenueve by running him off the track at full race speed to gain a few championship points. He
admitted doing it, and was totally unapologetic.
A few years before he had done the same thing to Damon Hill, but the incident was clouded by the fact he had crashed on the previous lap and perhaps
his machine was damaged.

No, legendary Formula 1 driver and Ferrari Design Liaison Micheal Schumacher is not The Stig as the sole reason Schumacher was there was because the
triple black FXX seen in the skit is his as Ferrari wouldn't allow Top Gear to use the 2006 Ferrari FXX.
Schumacher was there acting solely as an agent and on behalf of Ferrari S.p.A Internacional.
