Forza Horizon 4 - Top Gearing With The Stig

Some say that he can see the road two corners ahead of where he is and his favorite comfort music is made with only a metronome. All we know is he’s called The Stig.

Top Gear introduced the character that would known as The Stig  when the program was relaunched on the BBC with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Jason Dawe (later replaced with James May) in 2002. Originally donned in a black racing helmet, black racing suit....all black accessories, this anonymous and silent racing driver would set the benchmark speed times by racing cars around the Top Gear Test Track at Dunsfold Aerodrome at Dunsfold, England.

The Black Stig (revealed to be Grand Prix driver Perry McCarthy) would only be around for first the first two seasons ("killed off" during an aircraft carrier/Jaguar stunt), to be replaced with the first White Stig (which turned out to be stunt/racing/test driver Ben Collins) and a second White Stig (identity is currently unknown) in 2010.

Other versions of Top Gear (like Top Gear USA, Top Gear Australia, for instance) had their own Stigs and he has made a few, very noticeable appearances in racing themed games, such as Gran Turismo and Forza. Speaking of Forza, I managed to find the Top Gear event where I get to be The Stig in this first outing in Horizon 4. However, my driving skills might cause him to facepalm....
