And some say he can be beaten. The Stig’s digital cousin is making his way to Forza 5 and you can race him!
Who is the Stig? The Stig is a character on Top Gear, which a automotive TV show in the UK. He wears an all white racing suit and helmet. There’s been at least three people thus far who has played as The Stig that we know of. Perry McCarthy and Ben Collins have both played this elusive racer in the past and his current identity is unknown. Keep in mind that this isn’t The Stig that gamers will race against in Forza 5 in November. We get his cousin.
The Stig’s digital cousin can be seen in the above video driving the Holden Xbox One Racing Team car which will be driven in the real world this weekend at the Mount Panorama Circuit in NSW, Australia.
“Trying to beat The Stig on track has long been the petrol-fuelled dreams of Top Gear fans everywhere and whilst Jeremy and the team did not want to frustrate or embarrass gamers by putting forward the real Stig, they did help us track down a potentially more fallible relative of their tame racing driver.” – Duncan Gray, BBCWorldwide Commercial Director.
The Stig’s digital cousin can be beaten however it won’t be a walk in the park. Top Gear‘s test track will be available in Forza 5 as well as voiceovers from the hosts of the show, Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson, whose voice was heard in Forza 4.
