Are you familiar with the concepts of distance and perspective?
Yes, but that doesn't make someone lose 4" in height and gain 4" in the belly. I also doubt they'd be so careless as to let stig walk around unstigged when cameras are recording.

totaly by chance I have found out who the new stig is. Like Ben Collins he is not a houshold name, but a young driver who achieved in lower formulae but seems to stumble when he moves up to a more international level.
He swore me to secrecy so i cannot say anymore. If/when he gets named it will be an anticlimax.

This is the image, I don't think it's Johnny Herbert though. To see full screen, go to bbc iplayer watch F1 and forward 13 minutes.
It's an open face helmet so not a stig helmet.

And if memory serves, I think that the guy is a power boat racer.

Steve something.

He's the top British offshore racing fella I think...

I thought Eurosport named the new Stig during the Le Mans Coverage?

I've been told the new stig is Phil Keen. I've heard this from a friend and also i think it was mentioned in the Le Mans commentary.

If you know who the stig is you have killed the stig
hehe
it wasn't a joke

Its the truth

Its like knowing who is in the father christmas outfit

It kind of ruins the illusion

I far prefer to think of the stig as some strange alien being with 3 nipples and no understanding of ducks

Johnny Herbert was the Stig on the 1st episode of last season. Changed after that. More than 1 Stig.
