Stig (Top Gear), who he really is?!
Question: the original stig who wore black was perry mc carthy, who got the
sack for revealing in his autobiography that he was the stig,
his replacement who wares white is ben collins, who drove in ascar, nascar, & touring car .
collins also appeared on the show as himself several times, racing a kid on a skateboard down a hill, catching a parachutist while driving a convertable, & playing car football in toyota aygo's.
the accident report from richard hammond's high speed crash states that collins "worked closely with top gear as a high performance driver and consultant". It does not name him as 'the stig' though.
it is also rumoured that some car manufacturers use their own test drivers for insurance purposes

I googled that a while ago and found somewhere that it said there were actually 4 stigs.
He is a hero!
It's Tiff Needell
gary out of take that
I think there's more than 1
I cannot tell a lie , its me
It's more fun not knowing.
Jesus
I think its someone who isn't even famous and has been a test driver for a big company, like ford, I dont think its anyone famous!!1
Ben Collins. this question has been asked so many times
I think it might be hammond because the Stig is a very short bloke.
Although it might be that bird from the neubergring
Six million dollar question!!! It won't be reveiled, anyone giving you answers to this question is speculation only!!!
AH! A few weeks ago I saw an articles in the paper, and a camera flash made the stigs eyes visible! They gave 3 culprits, Ben Collins, Tiff Needell and an other bloke.

Stig Blomqvist. Stig Blomqvist acquired his driving licence at the age of 18, and immediately took 2nd place in a 1964 local rally event near the Swedish town of Karlstad, behind the wheel of a Saab 96. He proceeded to drive with the Saab team, and achieved his first international victory at the 1971 British RAC Rally.
Don't know but I think I got the impression once that he was american.
its damon hill
I think , and always have , that they have used (in all versions of Stig) , a past or present formula 1 driver or rally car driver.
probably wrong though !!
Do u know what, I heard he is definetly Damon Hill.!
He is 'The Stig' and don't you forget it.
I'm sure someone said it was Damon Hill, or at least has been in the past.
I AM THE STIG
But if no one wants to belive that the Stig is a 34 year old woman from Berkshire then i belive it may be Ben Collins
damon hill or ben collins
hamster(R.H)
Lewis Hamilton!!
I heard it was Damon Hill
