Stig Sacked

Not really surprising given his revealing of his identity:

This was a great article by James May about if you didn't see it already:

Interesting, VERY interesting, I am sure Top Gear will survive. Indeed I believe greed roared it's ugly head on this occasion. Now I imagine they (the producers) will have to build up another celebrity driver for the show.

Anyone who has read the official investigation report into Richard Hammond's accident (which was published some time after the accident) will have seen Ben Collins named as a 'technical consultant' to the programme. It's not difficult to work out what that really means.

The first series of the new Top Gear had a Stig dressed in black. Former F1 driver Perry McCarthy revealed he was the black Stig in his biography and suffered a similar fate.

I wonder what color the new stig will wear -- if there IS a new stig.

From the comments on the piece, it sounds like the show might actually be more popular in America than it is in Britain right now. Will the show carry on?

James May's piece is brilliant. Hilarious.

My guess would be pink.

Tony is that the young lady that was showing Jeremy around the Nurburgring race track recently. I think she could show up a few drivers, if it is the one I am thinking of.

Ooh! A girl stig! What an interesting idea! Probably would be pretty easy to figure out who it was, though...

That is indeed Sabine Schmitz. It probably would be too easy to work out who they were though.

They should just get a male driver and dress him in pink. Everyone would think it was her.
