Where's Stig: Motorsport Madness

The Stig, Top Gear's tame racing driver, is off on another adventure, this time following his passion for speed and adrenaline to its natural conclusion - motorsport. Stig has disappeared into the world of racing, and it's your job to find him.

Follow Stig as he roams from the stifling heat of the Dakar rally to the redneck heartland of a NASCAR track, or from the nightime drama or Le Mans to the mud-soaked stands of Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. Along the way you'll also find Clarkson, Hammond and May as they indulge in a spot of home-made motorhome racing or Roman rallying, middle-eastern style.

The Where's Stig books have taken Top Gear fans by storm - and his latest voyage is the most action packed yet!

Reviews

This is powerful, important writing, and Krien shows her workings throughout

—— Tim Lewis , Observer

Haunting ... arresting... devastating. A challenging, necessary assault on misogynistic "jock culture". Its arrival in Britain could hardly be more appositely timed in light of the Ched Evans case

—— The Times

Jaw-dropping ... illuminating. Krien shines a light inside the locker room and beyond.

—— Sport Magazine

It is a challenging, sometimes jarring but necessary assault on misogynistic “jock culture”

—— Matt Dickinson , The Times

Extraordinary and necessary… Though it’s an Australian story, it’s relevant to all countries with testosterone-fuelled professional team sports that apparently encourage a sense of sexual entitlement

—— Chris Maume , Independent

Krien finds no neat answers in Night Games, only grey areas, but it is the wisdom and balance of her writing that capitvates

—— Simon Briggs , Daily Telegraph

Sobering and necessary

—— Ben East , Metro

For every superstar, club CEO, boundary rider, bar-propper and park footballer, it should be mandatory reading.

—— Sunday Age

[Krien] writes honestly and brilliantly. Night Games is a book that was begging to be written. Readers should exult that Krien got there first.

—— Big Issue

One of the most incredible works of investigative non-fiction that I have ever read. Krien is nuanced and fiercely intelligent and every paragraph is addictive.

—— Readings Monthly

Heady mix of courtroom drama and narrative journalism… Not for the fainthearted, but highly compelling

—— Shortlist

Fearless, balanced and powerful.

—— Adelaide Advertiser

Plenty of…jaw-dropping details make it an uncomfortable journey, but it’s an illuminating one as Krien shines a light inside the locker room and beyond

—— Sport

The deserving winner of this year's William Hill Sports Book of the Year award

—— Chris Maume , Independent

This is a breakthrough book by one of the leading young lights of Australian writing

—— Cath Turner , Nudge

Despite it being an almost impossible subject to write about, Krien has produced a brilliant, disarming, thought-provoking book

—— Malachy Clerkin , Irish Times

A thought-provoking book that every aspiring male footballer should be made to read…as part of their apprenticeship

—— Susan Egelstaff , Herald

A worthy, if unexpected, winner

—— Simon Redfern , Independent On Sunday

A depressing but essential read

—— Sharon Wheeler , Times Higher Education

an intelligent and unsettling exploration of how sport’s macho culture and exclusion of women enable abuse

—— David Evans, Four Stars , Independent on Sunday
