Da non perdere l'ultimo ed interessante articolo pubblicato sul blog di Project CARS, che ci svela tutti i segreti di Ben Collins, poliedrico pilota ben noto per aver interpretato il misterioso the Stig nel programma Top Gear, ma anche stuntman nei film di James Bond, driver ufficiale a Le Mans, tester d'eccezione proprio di Project CARS e non solo...

“Some say that he once put Helen Mirren in a dishwasher, and that at the Winter Olympics he was disqualified from the skeleton event for riding down the hill on an actual skeleton. All we know is, he’s called the Stig!”
And with that, the mild-mannered ‘Stig’ was introduced one more time onto the world’s most-watched motoring TV franchise, Top Gear. For eight years the Stig’s identity was the best-kep secret in show biz. The Stig would, they said, eat his lunch wearing his helmet, and would never take it off while on set. In 2009, Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson wrote in his regular newspaper column that the Stig was, ‘fed up with newspapers speculating that he’s a photocopier salesman from Bolton, or lives in a pebble-dashed house in Bristol’ and that his identity would finally be revealed. The next evening, the Stig stripped off his helmet on TV and was revealed as none other than … seven-time Formula One World Champion, Michael Schumacher. Some in the media actually believed it—for about 24 hours.
