Summary:
The Stig gets his kit off and reveals how he had become Top Gear’s iconic racing drivers and so a lot more – including what it’s prefer to thrash an Aston Martin DBS, train for the Army and face the terror of Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear…
When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aeroplanes carrier in 2003, we were released to The White Stig. Faster. Stranger. Harder to keep clean. And since, thousands have wondered – who is THE PERSON in the Light Suit? They’re about to find about The Man in the White Suit: The Stig, Le Mans, The Fast Lane and Me out.
Ben Collins caught the car the bug youthful, kicking his dad’s employer in the balls for not giving him an organization Jag. This is the attitude that eventually led him to invest seven years posting a cabin with Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear, Adam May’s PhD thesis and Richard Hammond’s hairspray. Because he’s The Stig.
Today he tells about life in the iconic white helmet. What it’s like to guide a blind ex-RAF officer around the very best Gear track; pit a medication dealer’s Mitsubishi Evo against a Trojan container; established a Vauxhall Monara against Chloe the dancing Ninja; and race double-decker Routemasters against bendy buses. Not to mention all of the inside stuff on how the show’s amazing generating sequences are created.
He also reveals how he got to end up being there – setting
a Dunsfold lap time faster than Michael Schumacher’s. Breaking records with the best of the greatest at Daytona and Le Mans.
It’s an incredible tale, told by an amazing man.
