THE STIG, TOP GEAR AMERICA, WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS?
 
Tanner Foust is my first guess. Paul Tracy and Ken Block (too tall) are my next in that order. What's your guess????

Tanner

well the one thing is when you want tanner drive a car you definetly see how short he is and the stig sits in the same position, and it would make since, why hire a pro racer when you already have one on the show.

FLIPs_FR-S 08-15-2012 10:14 PM

My point exactly. Me and a friend of mine have a rather large bet on the topic

Tanner. It lets the producers save $$.

Hate that show. Why have an actual racer as a host and then make him drive poorly?

It's called entertainment for a reason.

I wouldn't call it entertainment,

I follow Top Gear on Facebook and they posted something about a new episode of TG America and thousands of people slammed that poor excuse of a show.

I don't understand why they haven't canceled it yet.

It's definitely Tanner...

People have apparently forgotten the few episodes where they had to drive AGAINST the Stig. He MIGHT be the Stig for the Power Laps, but then who's the Stig he has to race against? He can't really complete the challenge AND be the Stig at the same time.

Its probably much like TG:UK where the Stig is changing.

And this weeks episode of TG:US was actually pretty good. You have to remember that the earlier episodes of TG:UK were just as awkward.

i love top gear america. you cant compare the show to the UK one. actually Jeremy and James May have both said TG America is their favorite of the top gears. they have been forced to follow the format of a largely successful show and i think they have managed well. i personally hope they done cancel it. i wouldnt shed a tear if they replaced Tanner with someone else but then again it is nice that there are 3 distinct personalities on the show.

Not sure if serious...

Top Gear UK. #1.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. :P

Nah, I'm just kidding. It's probably Ken Block. When I was watching Tuesday's episode, the way he gymkhana'd that Odyssey, it's likely. But he does seem too tall...
