Perry McCarthy on life as 'The Stig!'
He's raced in Formula One, competed in the legendary Le Mans 24 hours and battled for honours at Sebring, but in the career of Perry McCarthy – dubbed by some as 'the world's unluckiest driver' – one thing must surely stand head and shoulders above the rest.
And that thing? Taking on the role of the mysterious 'Stig' on popular British motoring show Top Gear.
Crash.net took the chance to catch up with Perry recently, to talk about life as the 'Stig' and find out just how easy it is trying to teach a celebrity to become a race driver…
Crash.net:
Perry, alongside your long career in motorsport, you had another famous role as 'The Stig' on Top Gear - I just wondered what it was like to have that role.

Comedian Jimmy Carr finally told all during his 'Off the telly' tour. At the London event, he was asked by a member of the audience who the Stig was, and without hesitation said, "Well, it used to be Damon Hill, now it's some rally driver." This recieved an "Oooooh" from the audience, after which he said, "Yeah, I signed a contract with BBC not to release that information, but so what, I've also got a contract with Channel 4

No, no, no, no it's not Damon Hill
the real stig is the main guy who presents The Fifth Gear - i don't know his name, but he used to be a Formula 1 driver.

I believe it is Stig, formerly a star in the 1980's kids' TV programme "Stig of the Dump"

Do you remember Stig of the Dump, children's TV programme from the 80's? I think he's him. I could be wrong though!

Damon Hill, having been to the show 4 different occasions I think it becomes obvious.
