Sorry if i'm missing something obvious, but if it's Dave Clark, why is he referred to as The Stig?

From TG magazine:

"So just who is the mysterious Stig? Well here's a couple of clues: he speaks with a strong French accent and he's racing driver height (ie a bit short!).

I'm up for trying to find out who he is! Think on the 20th there are quite a few of us, so we'll just get a hold of him and pull off his helmet and take a piccy!

AJ, got my tickets for the audience today. You going? When they called they were specifically asking for women to participate on the 11.12 show - not sure why though.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it now

I'm going on 20/11. I saw on the Top Gear site that they are doing something with women but for the life of me can't remember what it is, might have something to do with that!

Sounds like it... I'll take a look (didn't know there was a site - should obvious I guess )

Enjoy it...

Oh, and we will expect a full report

Nah, the Stig is several different drivers - whoever they manage to nab from other duties each week. Or maybe there's a cryptic clue in the whole easy listening stuff?

It's not Andy Priaulx (BTCC honda driver), he said so in an interwiew with the local paper here.

My guess? Jason plato?

Question
At the end of the show, during the 4 door Saloon F1 thing. The Stig was standing arms crossed on the line. He was around the 6 foot high mark, judging him by the height of the small guy (Richard something). Damon is 6ft so...

I can help narrow it down. It isn't me. If everyone else posts who they know it isn't we should be able to work it out.

p.s. - Why did they leave Mr Burns watching a rally in the rain? Is that not what he does all the time on any stage that isn't called 'Stage 1' now?

OK try this one then.

Racing STIG => R STIG => GRIST

So it's Nicky Grist, that's why Colin fell out with him.
