“Who is the Stig?” came third behind “how can I find Jesus?” and “the fit one from Skins” in Google’s most searched-for terms last year. Fired up by this month’s DVD, and armed with no more insider information than you, I set out on the trail of the web’s most elusive superhero.
01. STIGBOOK: It’s unlikely Stig even knows about social networking sites, let alone has any need for friends, but his Facebook group is huge, with 1,070,831 fans.
02. STIGGEAR.COM – All we know is… there’s an exhaustive collection of Stig stuff on our site, with plenty of video. We’ve just learnt that he gets 25p every time someone uses the word ‘mincemeat’.
03. STIGETTE – This bizarre site takes pictures of scantily clad ladies and photoshops Stig heads over their faces. We’re not sure if this is just wrong, or actually a bit hot.
04. STIG: LIVE – The TG Live team finally managed to steer Stig into a press conference, during the New Zealand leg, in front of the world’s press, and 158,486 YouTubers.
05. BLACK STIG: REST IN PEACE – At the beginning of the third series, TG telly showed the black Stig getting himself done-in, while racing jet fighters. Silly black Stig. Thing is, can Stig die?
06. HE IS THE STIG – Professing to be nothing more than a fan site, this Bebo page has collected 22,418 like-minded souls who are all very keen in talking about the one that does not speak.
07. RETURN OF THE BLACK – This video proclaims that the black Stig didn’t die, but was just lost at sea for a bit. 2,365,376 people have tuned in to see if it’s true. Good attention to detail too.
08. STIGIPEDIA – If there’s anything you don’t know about the Stig, then this Wikipedia page will do its best to tell you, from the very beginning. We can neither confirm nor deny any of it.
09. FINAL GEAR – For the most part, the guys over on the Finalgear forum love everything that is TG, and have come up with 1001 uses for Stig. 10,677 people have paid attention to it.
10. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? – What’s Stig doing on the newish phenomenon of Twitter? Seemingly not a lot, with only 572 followers for one of a rash of Stig wannabes. Stig just wouldn’t Tweet though.
What would life be without Stig? Sad indeed!
Loving Stig!
woooo every one loves the stig
Woo for FinalGear!
worship thou stig
“……………..”
Bow down to Lord Stig
on the “07. RETURN OF THE BLACK” link the stig is missing a glove – the stig doesn’t have hands so that cannot be the real Stig.

browsing the Stigette site, and one quote was:
Some say…
“she can recharge a Honda Prius with a single stare.”
Something tells me the site is american.

Hi guys!
How r we today!
Love Stig he rules!
There is a rumour that the black stig will return next series because white stig let out his identity. He is a person they use a lot when they do car football and stuff and he is a F1 test driver, like i thought.
See ya around!
BrowntheRocCat (thats not my name!
i mean to say
)
BrowntheRockCat ( thats not my name!
bye!
pablo you are quite sad, how long did that take you?! too long i think
um I must agree with oi that’s a bit of a long comment, I hope it was copied and pasted…
Who will the new stig be? if Stig I wore black, and Stig the II wore white, who will Stig III be and what colour will he hear?

Black Stig has returned! I saw him in North Sydney the other day.
waddaya mean there is gonna be a new stig?? whats wrong with the current version? where in this universe did this new stig show up from.. tell it that it’s arrived a few decades early. it’s obviously miscalculated the send it back. I like the current stig V2.0 64 cylinder 16 liter model.
I’m A Member Of That Stig Bebo Group!
And I Follow Him On Twitter Too.
he is one of the most elite racer the world has seen.:)
the stig is cool
ily Stig =)
The Stig Rules!
The Stigette calendar just makes him(?) seem like a sex fetish…
Stigette is a “she”. I have a £50 bet with the Hamster to prove it.
THE STIG RULES GENIUS….
Stig on twitter i also follow to can i have your autograph
Could the stig be the new Jesus?
I’ve seen the Stig’s eyes on one episode.
Then again, it might just have been James. It was a confusing challenge.
I’ve seen the nape of his neck while he’s testing a car, but never any hair.
On one of the boy’s challenges, while James was reading, he mentioned the name “Ronnie Stiggs”.
Of course, we shall never know the Stig’s true identity.
Well, that’s just a guess……
FinalGear just rocks!
The Stig is awesome.
stig rox………!!!!!!!!!! stiggie’s the best
I Read about This In The Mag, I HAve Facebook And ofcouse im a FAN
people who think that the return of the black stig is not real: watch the stig die and youll see his glove float up to the surface!
Lets kick Gordon Brown out of office and replace him with The Stig or maybe even better he could become leader of the conservative party and be voted in in the next election because I’d still have issues with the rest of the Labour party anyways. But yeah Stig for PM please

The Stig, a legend in his own name… Whatever that is!
Hi your right
He is a legend
stigy whatsup
Why is the videos even on this page? I saw the 1st video, which has nothing to do with The STIG. So, there’s little doubt the rest of those videos have anything to do with him. On subject, you may have heard this 1000s of times before, but if you look on YouTube, you might find out who The STIG really is.
I wonder who taughgt him 2 drive
““Who is the Stig?” came third behind “how can I find Jesus?” and “the fit one from Skins” in Google’s most searched-for terms last year.”
That is a lie.
the stigs a good driver alright,but i would still like to see some proper cars being driven!
