Previously nobody knows how Top Gear picks their new Stig. Well, for fair comparison, they’ve only changed the Stig ones. This would be the second time. And as few weeks ago, many already know that BBC Top Gear has a Stig farm where new Stigs are bred, where they feed tonnes of Ruben Barrichello’s saliva to the Stig, and force them to watch F1 races every night. Let’s not forget that they’re genetically mutated with Michael Schumacher’s genes and Brad Pitt’s to begin with. Sadly though, not all grow up to be tame racing drivers though, with some being too violent and others seeming to suffer from the dulling effects of too much inbreeding.

Top Gear has released this video of the Stig-picking process, and as you might expect, not all Stigs have the natural drive to become skilled wheelmen, but some do have other talents. One Stig shown in the video is a gifted painter and another wants to become a writer despite being very talented in the ring. A pink Stig is also shown whose only talents appear to be staring at other Stigs and skipping merrily. Some Stigs are just born to be loafers.

The breeding program is focused on finding that one Stig that will go on to set blistering lap times on the Top Gear Test Track. The best are found, and from them, one is chosen. The video after the jump ends with a vision of the program’s new Stig, clearly ready for action in his iconic white outfit. I guess it’s still the white Stig after all. But hopefully he’s not as violent as some other.
