It's not Julian in that helmet.

Not enough eyebrows.

The Stig is Ben Collins. He has appeared numerous times "in person" on Top Gear.





OK its not proof but that is pretty much common knowledge . And yes there have been others Ben Collins is the main man.

Good observation there Jim. Just been doing a few searches and there is so much speculation as to who the Stig actually is or is'nt that i guess it will remain a mystery for some time yet. All will be revealed one day. Perhaps we should be putting a few bets on it.

another thing, I wouldn't go by his family featured on some of the shows either, like Stig's fatter American cousin, and Stig's South African black cousin.. doesn't help the guessing

He did pants compared to some other F1 racers on one of the car tests!! And he is just sooooo gay.

Damin Hill, me think

. Many people believe that "White Stig" is not one particular F1 test driver but several, depending on who is available on any given day for filming. This theory is given added weight by the recent Winter Olympics special when the driver performing the ski-jump stunt, ostensibly "The Stig" was later revealed by local Swedish newspapers to be a local snowmobile cross driver. Various F1 drivers have appeared on the show in the "star in a reasonably priced car" segment, and all have denied being the Stig or evaded the question such as Damon Hill. The current theory as espoused by "Daily Express" is that F1 driver Julian Bailey is the Stig, but no-one really knows. That's the whole point!

You can tell they are not always using same person.

i have most of the series on avi format, and you can tell the different driving styles, even tho meant to be same stig.
