its not damon hill...
you see damon hill and the stig once appeared on an episode together, and raced each other...

it isn't a current, or possibly in the last 5 years F1 driver either... you see the stig takes vastly different lines in every corner to any F1 drivers who have been on the show...

i think he's either elvis or john lennon...

The stig used to be Perry Macarthy but has been replaced because he revealed his identity. The new Stig is a guy called Ben Collins. Here is some specs on the guy.
Ben Collins (born February 13, 1975[1]) is a single seater and sports car driver from Bristol, England. He started his motorsport career in 1994, competing in Formula First and Formula Vauxhall Junior on his way to International Formula 3. Collins is a Champion Racing Driver with success in Motor Sport from Formula Three and Le Mans Sportscars to GT and NASCAR.

Collins was placed second in the Marlboro Masters world class Formula 3 championship event in 2000. He set the pace at the 2001 Le Mans 24 hours race in his first season for approximately four hours during the rain at night. After winning the European Stock Car Championship in 2003 ASCAR stock car racing he was signed by PDM Racing to do selected rounds of the 2004 Indy Racing League, but the car never appeared. In 2005, he competed in the British GT Championship in a Porsche 996 GT3, winning races on the way before moving up to the FIA GT Series with Ascari where he led races and scored several Pole Positions

This was in fact a fun thread with absolutely no intention of ever giving away the real identity of The Stig.

Funny wise cracks from the guys on Top Gear, pictures like Troy put up of Momo but not facts and figures.
So thanks for that...

Michael Schumacher revealed as TV show Top Gear's 'Stig'


LONDON (AFP) — Formula One legend Michael Schumacher was on Sunday unveiled as "the Stig", the mystery man who test drives cars on British cult motoring show "Top Gear".

The identity of the white-clad driver is kept a closely guarded secret, but Schumacher, who was Formula One world drivers' champion seven times, finally revealed himself in the first of a new series of the show on Sunday night.

Presenter Jeremy Clarkson pretended not to recognise him at first, asking him what he used to do before he became famous as the Stig, but then excitedly shouted to the studio audience: "It's Michael Schumacher!"

Former Formula One driver Perry McCarthy was Top Gear's original Stig, who dressed all in black during the first two series.

The show is shown in more than 100 countries worldwide.
