I know this doesn’t class as surf, skate or snow news but a UK paper has revealed the identity of the mysterious Top Gear character, The Stig. Apparently it is actually a former NASCAR driver (and stunt man who performed in the latest Bond film) by the name of Ben Collins. I am severely dissppointed – I enjoyed the mystery around who it was but also secretly hoped it was someone like Steve Coogan or Jay Kay who are both car enthusiasts and always did very well around the track. Check out the full story in The Australian here.
