Soz folks....Ben Collins is 6 feet tall +, stig is about 5`9``. Shuey, no way, still got far too much to do with Ferrari and cetainly wasn`t doing it when racing! P.S. from a member of the production team stig is actually 3 different people all British! Watch this space!You`ll guess 2 of them but the third never!

By Ted.. Posted June 22 2009 at 9:52 PM.

Ben Collins?-THINK AGAIN-I think Mansell! He was described by Clarkson as "Mansell like",the stig said the celeb car could could do a 1'44 and he did,sounds like him and his eyebrows are big enougth to be his!!!!!!!

By nik.. Posted January 18 2009 at 8:04 AM.

Well, we know it's not Jacques Villeneuve. He has never whined about anything or quit halfway through a lap.

By Clarke.. Posted January 18 2009 at 8:01 AM.

Your all wrong its Luke duke, from dukes of hazzard.

By nik.. Posted January 18 2009 at 2:43 AM.

I came second in a race against 'The Stig' when he served in the Army. He's\done allright for himself I think.

By Paul Ward.. Posted January 17 2009 at 8:41 PM.

It's David Hasselhoff.. IMHO

By CM.. Posted January 16 2009 at 1:11 AM.

That can only be: Jos Verstappen

By rufage.. Posted January 15 2009 at 8:29 AM.

Mark blundell

By hellyeah.. Posted January 14 2009 at 10:58 PM.

I think Oliver Gavin is the stig. He raced in Formula First, tested F1 cars and now races GT cars. It all adds up!

By Chris Elliott.. Posted January 14 2009 at 8:47 PM.

I heard from a reliable source that its frank spencer

By mick edwards.. Posted January 14 2009 at 6:28 PM.

Jack Bauer - when he's not making minced meat of terrorists! To hide his identity... :P

By Frank Otto Olsen.. Posted January 14 2009 at 7:22 PM.

Obviously its Darth Vader - he's just changed his helmet!

Petter Solberg is looking for a new job........

By Marius, Gjøvik, Norway.. Posted January 14 2009 at 2:32 PM.

If all of U want to know who The Stig is, it's simple, just listen what people say about him...

He's the one with full size tatoo of his face in his face, that's one of the clue that i'm sure all of us already heard.

By Berron.. Posted January 14 2009 at 3:03 PM.

roy keen?

By Eirik rafaelsen.. Posted January 14 2009 at 2:05 PM.

If his identity IS revealed, and he gets the sack, he will become Stig of the Dumped!

(Stig of the Dump was a childrens TV programme)

By CB.. Posted January 14 2009 at 12:59 PM.

It's Elvis

By Big Ben.. Posted January 14 2009 at 12:54 PM.

"The Stig" is..... close your eyes if you don't want to know...


Ben Collins.

By ben collins.. Posted January 14 2009 at 11:26 AM.

Has anyone seen Chuck Norris lately?

By flangers.. Posted January 14 2009 at 5:13 AM.

It's Jensen of course!

By Smeeto.. Posted January 14 2009 at 2:56 AM.

I heard ages ago that the Stig is possibly Mark Webber.

By Catherine Clark.. Posted January 13 2009 at 11:11 PM.

It's all a front to throw everyone off guessing it's James May. I've never seen anyone so calm at 253mph testing the veyron. So composed. And the drill on about the captain slow and he's lack of direction thing way too much, he's too smart to forgot basic stuff like that.

By Paul.. Posted January 13 2009 at 8:31 PM.

the article gives the clue that the first name has four letters and the second name has eight letters
**** ********

its mika hakkinen

By botho.. Posted January 13 2009 at 2:23 PM.

Ahh The Stig.We will never know who he is.It'll remain a mystery.
Rachel Quarrell
Australia

By Rachel Quarrell.. Posted January 13 2009 at 8:23 AM.

Hmm. he has got to be an Aussie, no Englishman could drive like that. He trained in the Northern Territory of Australia dodging Roo's and Wedge Tailed eagles, before they got a speed limit on their roads in 2007, then he moved to the UK! That is all I am allowed to say!

By Jason.. Posted January 13 2009 at 7:06 AM.

We all think we know who the Stig is. This is why it is such good fun. Whoever, he is, he is a very able driver.
May the force be with you Stig.

Best regards OB1.

By Brian Kemp.. Posted January 13 2009 at 6:43 AM.

I bet you his name is Lord Lucan - he's surfaced at last in what is a perfect disguise

By Judy McCutcheon.. Posted January 13 2009 at 4:10 AM.

no it is someone from mars.. they have said it.. "some say he is from mars"
most be thet

By Mr. Againstyou.. Posted January 13 2009 at 2:55 AM.

Nobody can find Bin Laden because he is THE STIG

By V8 Petrol Head.. Posted January 13 2009 at 2:08 AM.

Its Stig Blomqvist !!!

By Kiwi 39.. Posted January 13 2009 at 1:16 AM.

Nigel, It can't be Mark Skaife,

The helmets worn by The Stig are not big enough to fit Mark Skaife's huge nose.

By Doug.. Posted January 13 2009 at 1:04 AM.

I met Stig a year ago, while in Sebring (FL, US) for the 12 Hours. I was introduced to him by a fellow motorsports media figure, and we had a good chat in the paddock. We covered plenty, including lots of behind-the-scenes stuff from TG that never makes it to the telly (though Richard Hammond's book does provide some good detail).

As to The Stig's "true" identity? I'd just as soon pretend I don't even know - and would sooner spend a week at Guantanamo Bay than blab to everyone that "oh yeah, it's really ___________!!!"

C'mon, that's rubbish. If you want to know, then you've probably found out already. I'm just glad there's so much nonsense floating around the internet about it, so at least there's an ounce of plausible deniability to be had.

By phoenix.. Posted January 13 2009 at 12:48 AM.

You will never ever know who the Stig is until the series finishes even if he is stupid enough to remove his helmet in public, because after Perry McCarthy identified himself as the Black Stig my Uncle who was an explosives engineer for with the SAS was called upon to design the current Stig helmet, it can only be removed without exploding until a six digit code is punched in at the recording studio by the shows producer & only when he is satisfied as to security, this is now done in the safety of a underground concrete bunker as they actualy "lost" two Stigs during rehersals, as the original producer was found to be dyslexic.

By Roy Commerford... Posted January 13 2009 at 12:43 AM.

Police now targeting...The Stig.

By martin.. Posted January 13 2009 at 12:33 AM.

Is it steven segal?

We'll give you a clue from South Africa. It holidays here and it is a...........................woman!!

By TONY RSA.. Posted January 12 2009 at 10:44 PM.

Your all wrong, it's Elvis, who else could have a secret identity all this time, the US secret service and NASA are proffesionals at hiding aliens here on Earth.

By Dean.. Posted January 12 2009 at 11:27 PM.

“This is the best-kept secret in motor racing” Um, no it isn't, given most of the posters here have it right. They probably should have told David Sears from Super Nova to keep quiet about it when he was on a NZ motorsports show a year or so ago (Super Nova runs NZ's A1GP team). Interestingly Wiki has deleted the reference to where he gave away the Stig's identity, so Auntie's people have been onto them.

By Dr Yobbo.. Posted January 12 2009 at 9:51 PM.

nooooooooooooooo ! dont tell me who is the stig. he's an entity.... its like finding out santa isnt real or the tooth fairy was me mum. lol

By yvette.. Posted January 12 2009 at 7:47 PM.

jay kay has been a stig (theres more than one!).but the main guy is mark brundell, his eyes and nose even match the pic on the front page

sorry jezza, hamster and slow!

By JoshyBarth.. Posted January 12 2009 at 8:15 PM.

By stig .. Posted January 12 2009 at 8:45 PM.

Obviously it is Elvis Presley.

By Not the Stig.. Posted January 12 2009 at 7:12 PM.

Chuck Norris ?

By Giorgilo.. Posted January 12 2009 at 7:43 PM.

now there wnt be any more topgear probly and bbc isnt going to find a racer to replace the stig

By tom.. Posted January 12 2009 at 7:41 PM.

Of course its Ben Collins, he used to drive for Ascari, funnily enough top gear used the ascari test track in Spain to do some filming, he was also named in the H&S report when Hammond crashed and he was also shown when they played Aygo soccer along with Russ Swift.

By KJMAC.. Posted January 12 2009 at 4:32 PM.

Mika Häkkinen is divorced?

By oliver_sudden.. Posted January 12 2009 at 4:44 PM.

the stig is albert radis from ohio

By loung fu.. Posted January 12 2009 at 5:54 PM.

No, you're all wrong, those smiling eyes quite obviously belong to Paul Keating. Compare them to his photo for the last true belivers election, the banner ran "Leadership". (I reckon we all still miss ya Paul) - sorry mate, ehr.. Stig..

By Jamie old holden.. Posted January 12 2009 at 2:54 PM.

Ben Collins IS the Stig.

By laura.. Posted January 12 2009 at 2:59 PM.

Timo Scheider :)

By Miiro.. Posted January 12 2009 at 3:30 PM.

I've heard from a very good source that the Stig saga may be going full circle in 2009. Ben Collins will be replaced by none other than Perry McCarthy, the original black Stig. How ironic will that be?

By Animal.. Posted January 12 2009 at 3:36 PM.

His name was Robert Paulson

By bob.. Posted January 12 2009 at 12:07 PM.

The Stig is my husband. We're happily married :) sorry girls!!

By Stigs Wife.. Posted January 12 2009 at 11:42 AM.

I am The Stigs' mothers' 2nd cousins' (twice removed) next door neighbour but ones lawn mowing dude

Psst - a secret, just between you an' me like, OK.


It's Salman Rushdie...

By androo in sydney.. Posted January 12 2009 at 8:44 AM.

The Stig is lurking on these pages. I can feel his presence. It's eerie. I thought i saw a shadow on my screen.

By Nigel.. Posted January 12 2009 at 8:48 AM.

The Stig is the Australian Race care drive Mark Skaife.

By SlyOne.. Posted January 12 2009 at 8:29 AM.

It's Pope Benedict XVI
X= Expert
V = Veloce (italian for fast)
I = Feul injected

By Skyhawk.. Posted January 12 2009 at 7:05 AM.

He's not the Stig.....He's just a very naughty boy!

By Steffen.. Posted January 12 2009 at 6:40 AM.

Mate, It's Shane Warne. Not sure how he will fit it all in though when he takes over as coach of the English Cricket team.

By Gil from Oz... Posted January 12 2009 at 5:46 AM.

I am Sparacus....I mean The Stig.

By wayne.. Posted January 12 2009 at 5:18 AM.

some say he is saddam hussein's former body double, others that he is julia robert's "curvier" version in 'pretty woman'. I reckon he is one of the daft punk dancers in 'around the world'...

By Amir.. Posted January 12 2009 at 2:46 AM.

I AM STIG! find me if you can!

By Stig.. Posted January 12 2009 at 3:10 AM.

ok its me

By bryant.. Posted January 12 2009 at 4:39 AM.

They are just stirring trouble, only the employees at Area 51 know who he is and the planet he came from. Some say his name is 100RON on his home planet, which translates to 'The Stig' in English.

By Mike.. Posted January 12 2009 at 3:45 AM.

I am The Stig and so is my wife!

By tracy.. Posted January 12 2009 at 3:52 AM.

I AM THE STIG!

Her name is Dawn French !

By kenneth widmerpool.. Posted January 12 2009 at 1:49 AM.

You all have it wrong. I'ts Osama Bin Laden - best disguise ever. LOL

By Barney of Sydney Aust.. Posted January 12 2009 at 2:13 AM.

On of the F1 team managers blurted it out live on TV a couple of years ago so I don't think us naming him again (Ben Collins) on a comments page for the news of the World is going to make much difference to his job security.

By Ian.. Posted January 12 2009 at 1:36 AM.

its jason plato

By danielle.. Posted January 12 2009 at 12:45 AM.

I KNOW THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE STIG....its George W Bush!!!

By justice jeff.. Posted January 12 2009 at 12:49 AM.

It's Pete Perna he is a great driver and i've seen him in a white suit, put two and two together and i think you'll get four!!

By tim Krause.. Posted January 12 2009 at 1:18 AM.

I think it's Captain Slow himself - James May....

Being nerdy and slow is only a front!

By Rachael Paterson.. Posted January 11 2009 at 11:57 PM.

it is ben collins my auntie who writes the top gear scripts told me

By jack .. Posted January 11 2009 at 11:58 PM.

i can tell you this, there is more than 1 stig, and each have their "areas" of driving, eg. trucks, vans, cars, etc. just look at the silhouette in all the shows, each are different for different styles of driving. this was done due to "perry" saying he was the "one", so there is now a few to protect "the stig".

By me.. Posted January 12 2009 at 12:10 AM.

No way they know who Stig is. Clarkson put this out. He is playing with the inside of our heads. It's the little bloke, Richard somebody, the one that's shorter than Dennis Waterman. He has to do both jobs. He sits on a cushion when driving as the Stig.

By Nigel.. Posted January 11 2009 at 10:21 PM.
