The stig is dead long live the stig, A face palm moment in the history of BBC. Options

So apparently earning 5-10 thousand pounds and driving exotic cars is not enough for a tame racing driver. Apparently spoiled by greed and inability to capitalize on his fame as "the stig" said driver decided to write some sort of autobiography and after a major lawsuit BBC was unable to preserve anonymity of the character. Naturally according to the contract once Stig's identity is revealed and or leaked, he or she or it will be replaced with a new Stig.

So my hat is off to white stig for being a good sport before greed got to him.

Next season is around the corner and according to BBC character will be making a return opening speculation for who might possibly be the new Stig.

This is the same thing that happened with the first Stig, Perry McCarthy. He was found out, then confirmed it in an autobiography. The black Stig was promptly "killed off."

Undoubtedly, this will be what happens to the current Stig, Ben Collins. Granted, probably a couple people have put on the white suit for different stunts, etc. Maybe they'll go back to using black, or British racing green.
