Video: Former Top Gear Stig Ben Collins stars as the main love interest in this pop video

The end of Top Gear has been hard on everyone

Oisin Collins

We can’t decide if this is bad in a good way, or good in a bad way…

Maybe it’s the fact that we’ll always see Ben Collins as the one and only Stig (sorry Perry McCarthy), or maybe it’s something to do with our not-so-secret love of cheesy pop songs, but this tune by American actress/singer CC Mason called Racecar, is surprisingly catchy.

It sounds a bit like the Europop shite you’d hear while driving around mainland Europe, but then you turn it up to 11 anyway because it’s that catchy kind of crap pop song you can’t help but bop along.

Anyway, back to The Stig.

In the video, we see Collins ripping around in a stunning V6 Camaro that, according to Jalopnik, is actually CC Mason’s own car. To be fair to Collins, he’s still got the skills.

So what’s the verdict?

Good?

Utterly terrible?

Decent, but only because former Stig Ben Collins does one hell of an angry-man-with-crossed-arms stance?

Let us know via carrier pigeon, or, you know, Twitter.
