The Stig's identity is revealed here for all to see from someone who met him.

NotoriousREV

Paulo P

I hadn't seen what colour hair he had Is the music a clue? The only song I can remember was spandau ballet (sounds like bailey ???)

Katana

Peroxide blonde probably? I dated a few girls like that once only to find out they weren't the "genuine article". Boy did I feel cheated.

Dracoro

Did you get a refund Katana?

If Julian Bailey is about 5' tall then that's him.... the Stig was a shortarse when I saw him at Top Gear.

Katana

Dracoro no. Once you dip, you ain't getting back your dough.

There must be about 15 years between those 2 pictures . Theres a book out at the moment by Perry MCarthy. Apparently they were all mates , Hill,blundell,donnelly,herbert,dumfries, Worth a read and very funny, if you know the decade.

He's my cousin. Boring bloke. Never wants to talk about motor racing - I know its his job so you must get blase about it but how excited would YOU be if when you were a teenager your first cousin became a F1 driver for Lotus?!

Marc

dsmith

So Marc can you confirm (from the Horse's mouth) if its him ?

Deano

Marc W

Sorry Deano - don't know mate! Last time I spoke to him was at a family get together a couple of years ago. I'll get Mum on to the case.......

Steve Howat

He's been driving Lister Storms in the british and FIA GT championships for the past few years hasn't he?

Marc W

Steve - I think he got replaced at Lister a couple of years ago by Jamie Campbell-Waters. He's done the last couple of Le Mans for MG but thats all I know.

Of course the thing he's remembered for best is knocking his team mate Will Hoy onto his roof in the Toyota BTCC race at Silverstone a good few years back.

He scored 1 World Championship point in F1 - finishing 6th at San Marino behind his team mate, Mika Hakkinnen

Bit off topic I know but IIRC there used to be a connection between Julian Bailey and my local pub "The Lord Louis" in Stanstead Abbotts. Did he used to own it?

Sal

I don't know the pub but its quite possible. Julian and his brother Adrian own a fair few pubs.
