The Stig forced to unmask

Damn you High Court!

His identity remained a mystery for eight years despite his star billing on one of the BBC's biggest shows. But today the Stig, the anonymous Top Gear driver disguised beneath a white crash helmet and blacked-out visor, was finally unmasked by a high court judge.

Mr Justice Morgan threw out a request from BBC's lawyers to grant an injunction preventing publication of an autobiography by Ben Collins, the racing driver who has played the character since 2003, following nearly two days of legal arguments heard behind closed doors.

Stig will never be the same again

Unfortunately, but he's still one hell of a driver. Least he may be able to give some commentary on cars now after he drives them since he's the only one that usually push's them to their limits.

Top Gear were forced to allow Stig to unmask. He'll be replaced, like Perry McCarthy was when he wrote HIS book. He was black Stig, then Ben was white Stig, perhaps the next one will be pink?
