So is this the end of The Stig as we know it? Now the courts have allowed the autobiography to go ahead and The Stig will reveal his true identity will BBC decide to drop him once and for all.

They dropped black stig many years ago when he breeched his terms. But to be honest I think he has a right to make money on his name. BEEB make millions every year with stig merchandise which he doesnt see!

Shrug, we all know it's Ben Collins anyway. Makes no difference, all this exercise is doing is wasting time and making more money for Harper Collins trading off an image they've no right to (The Stig as is, is the Beeb's IP and the Beeb is funded by us, so why should HC be making money off it?).

That's interesting - when I read that article earlier today it distinctly said:

BBC The BBC has lost a legal fight to stop publication of a book which claims to reveal the identity of Top Gear's driver The Stig.
