Another red herring? What are the odds that it's not Ben Collins? ;)

It is not clear if the apparent unveiling is part of a publicity stunt which could mean that Stig's identity remains a mystery.

It's probably going to be that :P

They'll probably give some celebrity the suit and let him/her take off the helmet. It'll probably someone who hates cars :P

EDIT: Or they've called some special effects studio who built a robot which will have the Stig suit on, with the Nurburgring shaped nipple and so on ;)

I'm going to get fed up of telling people that he simply was on to drive the FFX.

I had a big LOL at that. :) Great reception from the crowd though, they were in good spirits.

I'm sure Schumi's done quite a bit of Stig work but he's certainly not one of the regulars.

I've read that the FFX he drove, was actually his, since there apparently has been made only one black one.

EDIT: I was just thinking, shows are recorded on a Wednesday, right? If the Stig had really been unveiled, we'd have known on Thursday who it was.

he does owns a black FXX, but don't really know if it's the only black one, i read somewhere too that it was the only black version

regardless wheter he is the stig or not they both have something in common, they're both legends!

It was a real good surprise for us. But they can't unveil the stig. It's what keeps the show going :p

i thought it was going to be Barrichello, although the height and build looked wrong. it could have been Jenson or Lewis, but those choices would have been too obvious.

should have seen it coming really once they started doing all that straight after the Ferrari went round the track.

nice surprise though!

The film at the start was good too, there looks to be some excellent moments coming in this series as usual.

Surely though they have to take the FXX off the leaderboard? It isn't road legal, so it should be in this list:

1. 0:31.2 – BAE Sea Harrier
2. 0:59.0 – Renault R24 Formula One car (Mildly moist)
3. 1:08.6 – Aston Martin DBR9
4. 1:10.6 – Caparo T1
5. 1:10.7 – Ferrari FXX (Not road legal)
6. 1:19.1 – Radical SR3
7. 1:22.6 – Westfield XTR2

read his post again.

that is the list for non road worthy cars, and he said the Ferrari FXX should be placed on that list instead fo the super car list.
