I don't understand why this is such a big deal. It has to be next to impossible to keep who Stig is secret if anybody really wanted to find out. Tell the paparazzi we need a pic and offer $1000 for it and it is done...
I understand why they try and make it a generic or anonymous driver so the focus stays on the the cars and the hosts

but get over it...
It is not like he has gone out and is promoting the new "Stig" cologne or posed in just his helmet and gloves in Playgirl...
