Captain Slow goes head to head with The Stig in Top Gear t-shirt battle this Christmas!

• Monday, 16 November 2009

---

With Top Gear back on the telly and the show’s iconic ‘I am the Stig’ T-shirt charting at No.1 on Amazon this week, could Captain Slow take up the challenge to outperform the mystery driver this Christmas?

The much anticipated ‘Captain Slow’ t-shirt launches today, along with a brand new design for the nation’s favourite mystery driver, the shirt being named simply ‘Stig Standing’. Who will take pole position in the race to win over fans and make it under the Christmas tree this year?

In honour of Top Gear's not-so-fast presenter, James May, a new t-shirt design has been created to celebrate the careful driving attributes of his show nickname, ‘Captain Slow’. A must for both the careful driver and speed king alike!

Or pay homage and stay true to His Stigness with the brand new design, ‘Stig Standing’. Despite the last series ‘unveiling’ of Schumacher as The Stig, we always knew that the real identity of the driver would remain a mystery, so the intrigue continues!

Both of the new t-shirts cost £16.95 and are available in men’s sizes Small through to XXL. Children’s sizes are also available for the ‘Stig Standing’ t-shirts at £12.75. The UK’s only official Top Gear t-shirts are available online at www.officialproducts.co.uk along with a great selection of high quality 100% cotton T-shirts, each with a unique design as well as many other Top Gear gift ideas.

Top Gear fans, it’s up to you, will you let Captain Slow overtake The Stig this Christmas?

Last minute shoppers are advised to ensure their orders are in by Sunday 20th December for guaranteed delivery before Christmas.
