Is the "Stig", as in the first name of the 1984 driver champ, the same person who is the mysterious "Stig" from that Brit TV show? Seems too obvious since it is supposed to be surrounded in mystery?

the 'stig' on top gear was Perry McCarthy... he was the black stig... when he resigned an F1 gig, he left the show, hence the aircraft carrier episode.

When he left, he was replaced with a White Stig... while the identity of the white stig is currently unknown, it is known that the Stig is not always the same person..ie, when the Maserati MC12 was test driven, that was not the show's stig taking it around the track...also, the olympic episode.. that was not the show's stig jumping the ski jump in the snowmobile.

sorry to ruin the fun...
