The shumacher stig was intended as a joke.

I found out about this about a year ago. Didn't think it was still a secret...

I'm the Stig. That's why no one has seen me at a meet yet. I can't be identified. I'm blurry.

I thought they had said it was a bunch of different drivers. Not just one.

My guess about what happens next is that you will get a new stig. They retired the Black Stig and that was when the White Stig(collins) came in. Probably will do the same thing now.

The Black Stig was Perry McCarthy, when people found out who he was he was canned and replaced with the White Stig. Its been rumored for a while to be Ben Collins and there have been a couple joke fake "Stigs" like Schumi to play around with viewers.

IMO hes stupid for giving up that gig but thats just me. He wants to write a memoir and now he has basically unmasked himself which means they're gonna can him.

This thread and the one about the bringing the car back to stock for warranty make me realize how worthless peoples word is these days. Ben signed an agreement and is trying to circumvent his own word for profit, much like those who sign a warranty agreement and then try to get around the terms and conditions when they blow their car up modding it.

Bring in Red Stig

I hope this "Stig Execution" is as entertaining as the last one haha.

Interestingly enough.. wasn't the Black Stig outed by revealing himself in a memoir as well? I had heard he was trying to out himself (for some reason, I can't think why) so I thought when he was in that car that blew up this season we were going to get a new stig ..... mabye they're just teasing us? Hell they could "kill" white stig and use the same dude for a new one, no one would know the difference. That's the beauty of it.

Could have written a book and not revealed himself...
