I know for a fact that's not the stig. I've got connections at BBC.

Edit: Ben Collins hasn't been the stig for quite some time actually...

What matters is that he WAS The Stig at some point.

They're still wayyy late with this one. I don't think anyone will ever guess who the Stig currently is...

He was... on that particular day. Some manufacturers supply their own drivers along with their test cars who then have to masquerade as the Stig. Heikki Kovalainen drove Renault's F1 car, for example. And the Maserati MC12 was driven by its private owner. Or at least that's how internet rumors go.

I think Collins was just one of many Stigs (in addition to drivers supplied by manufacturers) hired by the show.

they should do a scene in the show where people in the audience dressed like the stig stand up 1 at a time... "I'm your stig" .... "No, I'm the stig! " ... etc etc til you have like 10-15 people standing up with white helmets on

Nobody is going to buy his book, he was a reservist SAS, big deal, he was a Formula 3 driver, big deal. Now he thinks that people care about his life? What a retard.

I prefer the mystique of wondering who The Stig really is. I don't mind knowing his true identity, though, but my preference would be thinking, "Damn, I wish I could drive like that motherfreaker does!"
