Perry’s musings, blogs, adventures and ramblings…

Perry McCarthy, the original ‘Stig’ from Top Gear is set to make his motorsport comeback in the ultra exciting TitansRX European Rally Cross Championship 15 years after hanging up his helmet due to injury.

Some 17 years since Perry last sat in a single seater racing car Perry returns to Pembrey to test a modern Formula 3 car.

On 30th January Perry was the mystery guest on Chris Moyles’ Radio X show, “Who Are You”. You’ll see it didn’t take long for the studio team to figure out who Perry was, and Perry takes the opportunity to tell us the origins of the name, “Stig”.

In late 2016 Perry was invited to comment on the forthcoming new Amazon show, “The Grand Tour” - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May had all moved on from the BBC to bring their new British motoring television series to the masses.

In June 2015 Chris Evans was announced as the new presenter of BBC’s Top Gear, following the resignations of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Perry was invited to comment on the matter by Channel 5 News..

In September 2014 Perry was invited to lunch with the great Motor Sport writer, Simon Taylor. The resulting interview features in the extraordinary Motor Sport Archive

Tens of millions of dollars have been spent in trying to understand the cause of collisions but a common cause is 'lack of due care and attention' which includes driver distraction.

Perry appears on BBC News’ Breakfast Show to discuss his time with BBC’s “Top Gear” as their original Stig.
