Or the Stigs green brother (?as seen on the ascari race track, with sandels) :D
 
Now all we need is for the TG boys to film a segment where the black stig walks out of the water and up the beach. Cut to the TG track and the white stig gets out of a car, only to be stabbed in the heart by a swordfish carried by the black stig. The black stig then resumes his driving duties.

First part is already done ;)

 
I don't think they will change his suit colour again because 'White Stig' has become so iconic. Back in the days of 'Black Stig' the new Top Gear was just finding its feet and there wasnt such the celebrity there is now. Not to mention all the merchandise.

Personally I don't care who they say is the Stig or not, he's a machine and any human claiming to be him is false.

Robin.
 
Read on Wiki and you will find that the Stig is more than one person. During their Winter Olympics, the Stig was a local Norwegian who snowmobiled off the ski-slope.

Also, now we know who the real Stig is, 'Stigging' the cars round the TG track.

BTW, Top Gear returns to TV early next year, 2011.
 
I am worried that this will affect GT5 in some way because it depicts the current 'white' stig. Also the 'white' stig has been around for ages used in various marketing campaigns - i'm inclined to think they'll keep the white colour, i just wonder how they are gonna pull it off.
 
Just a side note for anyone who watches it on BBC iPlayer.

The subtitling is a little off. 'Tom Cruise in our Kia' becomes 'Tom Cruise in IKEA.'
 
TG Series 15 is now on BBC America. And it's the entire episode! BBCA has each episode now going for an hour and twenty minutes, so it's the whole one hour episode plus commercials. Better!
 
BBC has the new Stig ready for Season 16.... :)

Hope its not an AUP violation... If so... Do as you please mods :)

On topic, last season was a disappointment, I know budget cuts took their toll, but the writing and performances were not as good, they have become their characters and it just seems to be so false these days, and that detracts from the humour.
 
Did you guys overseas get the Top Gear UK vs Top Gear Australia Ashes special?
 
Top Gear budget cuts? Surely the most watched TV show on earth could only increase it's budget?

Best Top Gear Australia episode by far... Sure it was a special, and not officially a "Top Gear Australia" episode. Nonetheless, it was surprisingly captivating.



A few cars and a video.... Someone is trying really hard to show they can compete with GT5.

Turn 10, how about a few tracks instead?

Nope. They are trying to get around this though by doing a ridiculously small amount of shows, The last series ended a couple of weeks ago and was only 6 shows long and the next series is due to start in about Febuary 2011. I think its crazy at least 6 months between 6 week series.
 
Just bought and read the new TG mag, and Season 16 will be shown January 2011. I don't know any more than that.
