Yep, it's (ex-)F1 driver Michael Schumacher. Certainly not Shoemaker though

EDIT:
Topgrar? Top Gear, surely?

Doesn't matter any way - it's mind games. He isn't the Stig judging by the end of the episode

He's not the Stig. You could tell by the way he stalled the car at the end and yet the Stig himself did a perfetly reasonable lap in a similar car (if not that one).

They have done this a load of times, In an interview the producer even admitted that its never been productive to have just one stig.

Seems a "stig" is a mysterious driver on Top Gear...(wikipedia)
Quote: "The Stig is the name given to the racing driver on the BBC show Top Gear. In the show he is cast as a mysterious "tame racing driver"[1]. He is fully credited as a presenter, albeit as "The Stig", alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
The Stig's primary functions on the show are to post lap times in various cars around the Top Gear Test Track in Dunsfold Park, and to train each week's guest in setting a lap time in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car feature on the show. In addition the Stig carries out other driving duties when the need arises."

Didn't they reveal his identity months ago? Surely there having a laugh like usual, providing that the show ain't placed a fact in for more than 5 years...

The stig is not Michael Schumacher. If you watched the end, youll know.

Plus its pretty obvious in the Credits.

Jeremany Clarkson
James May
Richard Hammond

Ye i got over excited. But for all the people who dont know who the stig is, shame on you. Heres the quick info.

Hes some guy who is a very good race car driver (no matter what vehical). They 'killed off' the previous stig by driving him out of an airplane because his identity was revieled. There are many stigs. There are stigs such as; stigs comunist cousin, stigs american cousin, stigs lorry driver cousin.

To all those who dont watch topgear i advise you do. The old stuff is boring but now its more of an entertainment show than an actual car documentary (just watch one of their special shows: Veitnam challange, American Challange, Polar challange, Salt Flats Challange. There are also mini chalanges, like the old vehical challange, the car cross channel race (1 & 2) and the Britain Vs Germany Challange.

Really? I seem to remember he jumped off an aircraft carrier using a Jaguar fitted with nitrous oxide...

I think there have been a number of Stigs, but I guess Michael The Maker of Shoes has been the latest. Or it could be a trick just to keep the Stig(s)'s identity safe.

There have only been two Stigs I think, the old one in the black suit and the new guy (who isn't Michael Schumacher) in the white.

The old one was a retired F1 driver, the new one is a stunt driver who did the driving for Casino Royale I think...

That was obvious mate

I think i was about to kill myself if Arena threw in another spelling mistake, it hurts my eyes to read it.

Again, still speculation, a few people have come forward and said they are the stig, i think one was a plumber from Bristol, like they mentioned on the show.

Michael Schumacher looks too fat to be the stig.

I have several friends who are, still doesn't hurt to get a spell checker or take the extra 30 seconds to read through it.
