Huge news in the continued hunt (for those of you interested in knowing) for the identity of Top Gear’s ever-helmeted test driver, The Stig.

While the racing suit clad The Stig never appears in public with out his trademark dark-visor helmet, said visor is apparently not sufficiently opaque to keep from being compromised under the bright light of a camera's flash. This slip was discovered yesterday, when this photograph was taken, unintentionally revealing the thousand-yard stare of the motoring icon.

While the slim visage is hardly enough to give conclusive proof of The Stig’s true identity, it certainly opens things up for even more speculation. Starting here. Take a close look at the eyes in the photo, and give us your best guess of who might be wearing the white helmet in comments.
