"Top Gear's" silent masked racer, known only as the Stig, is the subject of many rumors, mysteries, and fables -- mostly put forth by the show's co-hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Now the mystery driver, whose real identity is reportedly known only by the three presenters and a handful of top British Broadcasting Co. execs, wants to write a book -- and the BBC is set to throttle him with a lawsuit if he does. The issue, according to the BBC, is that the Stig is under contract to keep his identity a secret. According to the Guardian UK:
"The BBC said the proposed autobiography breaches 'agreed contractual and confidentiality obligations' relating to the program."
A former Stig, Perry McCarthy, was released from the role when his identity was outed. Racers from Michael Shumacher to Damon Hill have been rumored to be the man behind the helmet and visor.
