The identity of Top Gear's mysterious Stig has been one of the best kept secrets in television. But after years of intense public curiosity it has been revealed that he is a 33-year-old racing driver from Bristol. Ben Collins is the mystery man behind the white mask, a former American NASCAR, Formula 3 driver and Daniel Craig stunt double. LINK |

Nooooo!!!! It's not right, we shouldn't know who he is till he retires!!!
""The media has long known who the Stig is but has refrained from revealing his true identity. A Top Gear spokesman said: "We never comment on speculation as to who or what The Stig is."
Rumour has it that if the Stig's identity was ever revealed the driver could be sacked from Top Gear.""
Miserable Gits!!

'Outed' by the press - then sacked by your boss !  I'm sure they could still employ him as he never takes his helmet off (just pretend they've got a new one) |

That was the whole point of Stig, that we didn't know who he was or what he looked like out of his white leathers! Huh!

He should sue the press if he gets sacked. Then sue the BBC.

this guy is the second sting. Sting number one was killed off because herevieled himself. Its part of the Stigs contract. 1st rule of Stig knowledge...YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT STIGNESS. so this guy has been exposed he is the second stig, so they will get a new one. I agree the stig should be unknown its part of the fun of it all, but then again when you know who it is, he has to be replaced. Bring on the new stig.  Evolution i love it!!! they'll kill off the old stig in the new series watch |

This has been floating around the motoring forums for ages.
But then so has the 'fact' that it's not alwasy the same bloke. Various F1 and other top drivers have been attached at differnet times as stand in's for stiggy.

The Stig's identity has been well-known for ages, it was also revealed in the Health and Safety Executives investigation into Richard Hammond's crash.

agree with Sushi , it shouldn't have been revealed - the fun was in the anonymity |
