Join us for another episode of the TMC Talk Show, this time with none other than the original Stig (also known as Perry McCarthy)! In this latest installment, we discuss Perry’s expansive racing career, his book “Flat Out Flat Broke,” and his time working as the enigmatic test driver on Top Gear. I had a great time speaking with Perry! As you’ll see in the interview, he’s a genuine guy who knows how to make you laugh. The video posted above is the full interview, but you can check out the links below for other viewing options including the podcast version.
