My Take
Collins makes me grin. A genuinely accomplished racing driver from Bristol, he spent years as The Stig, the anonymous white-helmeted driver on Top Gear from 2003 to 2010. I love the theatrical conceit of a real, versatile pro, comfortable in everything from Formula Three and Indy Lights to sportscars and GTs, hiding his identity behind a visor. The Exeter education hints there's a sharp mind behind the speed, and his stunt work shows true all-around mastery behind the wheel. He embodies the petrolhead dream, and I have real respect for anyone who can drive absolutely anything fast.
