I used to clean the windows of the STIGG - the first one that was in black
it was Perry Mcarthey who used to drive in for Audi in the Le Mans ,
very nice family they were ,
I used to see his stigg gear in his office lol but i didnt tell anyone.
I'm genuinely impressed,.. No way I would have been able to keep that secret!!
How come he quit/ got replaced?
Not to sure why he gave it up , probley the pay as Im sure the BBC didnt pay the sort of money he was on with Audi , He's a top bloke , I think he own's the rights to the stigg name If I remember , he has a very good book out called F1 the hard way click -

Quote-
Perry McCarthy decided at the age of 18 that he wanted to reach the top in the world's most expensive sport. With no racing experience, no cash, and little going for him except a passion for speed, the exuberant Cockney shouldn't have stood a chance. He never gave up, however, and his relentless search for backing and recognition led the man "The Times" dubbed 'the world's unluckiest racing driver' to heroic, often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking efforts to make it into Formula 1. This is his autobiography.
Some of the storys he told me , you had to feel for the guy , While Damion Hill and co was earning the big bucks , Perry was driving to the F1 meets in a mini metro as he put his house on the line and lost the lot !
Some say he was the fastest thing in F1 but only got a F1 drive a few times.
If you into the stig or F1 , the book is ace read and very funny.
I didnt get a mention in it
