Serious Question: who is Top Gear's STIG??
Discussion
i've been told by someone whos been there that it is julian bailey, but top gear swore him to secrecy but he couldn't hold it in anymore...
he properly saw and spoke to him and saw him climb into a radical SR3 to take it round the track which will be shown in a future episode.
to be honest this sounds more feasable than nicolas minassian, as he looks a similar build to baliey, and although he's a very capable driver (and no offence is intended here) he doesn't seem to have the most exciting personality out there.
this got rid of my previous two guesses, damon hill as thats too obvious and james munroe as he's still too much in jail!!!![](http://www.pistonheads.com/include/images/biggrin.gif)

Apparently the STIG is Julian Baily, but unless somebody can get proper proof then we cannot believe anything anybody says.
If this guy is for real then I take his point:

And this Stig just walked around with his helmet off!
How could we ever have been so silly,.. I don' t think so!
The mystery continues........

thats the same forum i got my information off, but i couldn't rember the linkage...
I was down on the track on Wednesday morning whilst he was waiting to take a car out (won't give it away, it'll spoil the program!) but he had to hang around whilst they were kitting it out with the cameras.
Anyway, whilst waiting, Stig and the fat one drove on to the runway and parked up some distance away.
The fat one had his arm out of the window so we're guessing that they'd both pushed off for a fag and obviously had to move away so Stig could take his helmet off.
We asked Jason Dawe about it later and he said that as he was in Motorsport, dying from smoking was the least of his worries!
So we guess he's also a smoker!
