Well, they were wrong. Thank goodness. But seriously, frigging fan-boy bloggers — they never get this stuff right. In fact, Jalopnik commenter and writer-on-photos champ smokyburnout has pointed out that not only is he not Das Stig, he's even given us a handy graphic to prove it. As you can see above from this shot taken from an entirely different location — a grassy knoll, we believe — you can see Stiggie's head clearly visible on the left and there's Schrick's head back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over on the right. Back there, and over...yeah, sorry, we saw JFK again the other night.

It was there they caught a glimpse, Bigfoot-like, of a driver in white racing gear similar to that worn by our Stiggie. More importantly, he was carrying a matching white helmet. The Dutch fan-boys at the site all over this whole blogging about cars thing have identified the chap as none other than former Volkswagen Polo racer Tim Schrick. Wait, a German? No way. There's no way a German could talk so many Brits around the Top Gear track at Dunsfold Park. Inconceivable. If this is true, the producers might as well just change his name to Das Stigenwehrfer and get Max Mosley to be his goose-stepping assistant. Hmm, that makes us wonder — you think he makes stars coming into his reasonably priced car say "Jawohl, mein Führenstiggie!" [autoblog.nl]
