He's a prehistoric teenage boy who lives in a dump

I thought he must be ex-F1 cause he obviously has a superlicence. I watched a repeat a few weeks ago where he drove the F1 Renault around the normal test track - they wouldn't give him that drive without a super licence.

YEah the Renault R25... I thought it could have been Button...

Are you sure about this? I`v always wondered who it was too as i always watch Top Gear. I`d love to jump in a car while he was driving as he can drift like crazy. The Stig and Tiff Needel are my favourites drivers to watch, i`d like to see them race each other in big powered, rear wheel drive cars.

I saw that STIG is Michael Shummacher, but im not sure.

I`v been reading up about it and it says that Heikki Kovalainen drove the Renault F1 car that 1 time but Perry was actually the stig

Wait!!! You dont mean Stig "Of the Dump" do you?

you could never race Tiff with the Stig because the Stig would win every time, Tiff would me more interested in showing off and sliding the cars around the track as apposed to racing them

Perry has a fantastic aotobiography out - tell his story right from his start right thru the Andrea Moda catastrophe to Audi and now-
He is a great driver and can hastle a car - The Atom was the best car control I've seen

To be honest , i am also wondering who it is.
I think it is Johnny Herbert, but i have absolutely no idea WHY.
Strange? I know.

Perry was the Stig but he's not any more, he was the one that "Died" driving the Jag of a aircraft Carrier.

BDD has posted who the Stig is and is not sure if he should repost




Oh go on the When the F1 car was driven around the test track it was driven by Heikki Kovalainen Renault test driver if you Google his name that can be proved and the really Stigs name is..... I can't believe I giving up my secrets.....erm......


oh bugger
