Or is it Nigel Mansell........The Stig seemed to know the Isle of Man road in that 3 car (Porsche/Aston/BMW) test rather well - and NM lives on the Isle of Man.

And his 1:44 in the reasonably priced car was also a coincidence. He took exactly the same driving lines as the Stig as JC commented!

There are other hints too but I cant remember!!

I'm pretty much sure the original stig was Stig Blomqvist but he changed at some point as he isnt the same size anymore and doesnt have the same driving style.

I don't know for definite though so I could be wrong
