Who is the Stig?

[Spastik_Roach]

Put your guesses down here!! If anyone knows for absolute sure and has proof, can you post it aswell!

My guess is Stig Blomqvist! Hes driven for the Skoda Octavia WRC team, and won championships with Saab in the late 70's.. Makes sense, doesn't it?

whats this "stig" to do with?

[Karrmann]

I don't get this game.

The "stig" is the racing driver who does all the track tests for Top Gear.
All the fastest times on the cars are those recorded by "the stig".

It used to be Perry McCarthy - successful racing driver in recent times in GT .

I've not even seen any HINTS in any of the other forums on who the new one is, but he's certainly a little faster than Perry was so I suspect it's a "young gun".

No chance it being Blomquvist He's nearly 60 and whilst he was a god and my hero in the 70s and 80s he's competing very little now with Pikes Peak I think his last 'competitive' outing. Turns up for historic and classic rallies occasionaly too

well then i'll have no hope, maybe motorsportnerd will nail it

[R34GTR]

Could it be Damon Hill (btw this is just a guess but he seems so fit for the job)

[Coventrysucks]

I've already posted who it was...

1 quick search later:

Stig mkI - Perry McCarthy
Stig mkII - Ben Collins

im guessing matra nailed it, because he is like the all powerful ruler of ucp, as for karrmann, i finally figured out what his name means!!! it was a choachwork builder for porsche in the 1950's, they built the 356 body work! yay im so proud of myself

[Matra et Alpine]

hey, thanks, Coventry, I'd not seen any discussion on the topic for a while.

Collins used to race for Jakcie Stewart in the old F3 days.
He was supposed to be one of our great hopes for F1
Did well in Le Mans, not sure where he's competing now......

The stig, must be british,probably, i also think that Damon Hill, has a good shot at being the stig.I wouldnt be surprised if it was Johnny herbert or a younger driver..maybe one of the british guys from the DTM.My guess :johnny herbert or Gary Paffett

[SlickHolden]

The Queen ? j/k

[Coventrysucks]

It isn't Paffett, he's too busy trying to win the DTM championship.

I have heard from reasonable authority (some guy from Autocar) that it is Ben Collins.

I know who The Stig is. He is Ben Collins. He's been outed.

Here. Here.

He has raced in Formula 3, NASCAR, Le Mans, and was Daniel Craig's stunt double in Quantum of Solace. So now I wonder, black Stig and white Stig are gone (the two best colours for The Stig) so who colour will the next Stig be?

EDIT: Cov already knew who he was as did many others I bet.

EDIT 2:
