Some say he's the Stig, but he's not. He's the Stig's digital cousin. The Forza Motorsport 5 race game set for release on November 22 will feature a tame racing driver, based on the mystery Top Gear track linchpin.
The trailer video shows him putting his driving prowess to work with a Holden Commodore V8 Supercar at Morgan Park race track in Queensland. However while the game Stig's ability draws on the real Stig, some also say the Forza Motorsport 5 one differs in one crucial way -- he's apparently beatable, if you're good enough.
“Trying to beat The Stig on track has long been the petrol-fuelled dream of Top Gear fans everywhere and whilst Jeremy and the team did not want to frustrate or embarrass gamers by putting forward the real Stig, they did help us track down a potentially more fallible relative of their tame racing driver,” BBC Top Gear commercial director Duncan Gray said in a statement.

Forza 5 also features for the first time Australia's best-known circuit, Mount Panorama -- with the game maker saying the Bathurst track was the most-requested additions by fans for years. The Mountain also features in the coming Gran Turismo 6, which will hit the shops on December 6.
