I have been watching Top Gear for a while and have heard rumours that there are in fact three The Stig's.
Does anyone know who he (or she) is???
Please put me out of my misery!!!!!

Try looking him up on Wikipedia.

Apparently I drive like him whoever he is neutral
I think there's something on wikipedia smile but my anger and the SH search button has spread and now Google hates me too!

The rumours over The Stig's identity have been flying around for a while.
There are thought to be 2 "stigs" at the moment and that is probably true as during certain speed laps the "racing lines" of the car through specific turns like "gambon" and "hammerhead" change significantly from standard F1 lines to more rally orientated lines.
The current stig's are thought to be Damon Hill which would explain the F1 lines, and stunt, rally and racing driver Ben Collins which would explain the use of dragged lines more akin to rally driving.
A guy my uncle works with went to the filming of an episode of Topgear last year and saw Damon Hill getting out of a car close to the set, and the Stig appeared on that show, coincidence maybe, but the general consensus amongst Stig theorists is that it is the two guys I mentioned above! confused
Is it rude to say here that I really couldn't care less?!
redface Sorry... just not a Top Gear or even car fan at all really!!

I wouldn't say it was rude no, but there are a lot of TopGear fans and a lot of interest in the Stig's identity, horses for courses and all that!!

Fair enough.
But surely the whole point is not knowing who he or she is? Wouldn't knowing spoil the fun?
i know some one on the racing scene and he tells me the stig is just an ordinary guy and no one famous at all
As I said earlier
A friend who works for TG says they (the 3 Stigs) are all current racing drivers and have different commitments thats why there are 3 of them..
At work once over a communal breakfast several colleagues and myself debated what a certain senior manager with national responsibilities actually did. Around half a dozen of us with various perspectives could not come up with anything that could account for more than 10% of a working week. Pondering on what he did for the other 90% of the week I speculated ...perhaps he's the stig!!!!
This name stuck, he even learned that he was referred to as this iconic figure :shock: ...he was delighted and thought it a cool nickname rolleyes
I wish I had a friend that works at TG - I would love to go to the set and racing track!

I think its James May. :shock:
Story i have heard is that all the cars sent to top gear come with their own test driver, as the car firms obviously want them seen in the best light. So there are apparently many stigs, hence the diguise required. Interest born out of neccessity
If you walk round any large gathering of people you will realise their are more than 3 stigs.......Ive seen at least 50 men wearing t shirts proclaiming they are the Stig(my hubby included redface )
