We’ve played the game, along with just about every other car site and publication in the world. Not revealing the Stig’s identity that is. But now the truth is out, so there seems precious little point not revealing who it is. ‘Black’ Stig got the sack when he was revealed as F1 hopeful Perry McCarthy […]
