Who is the stig?
“The” Stig was Perry McCarthy, I have no idea who the current imposter is though.
Johan Stigefelt raced for Dark Dog Supersports in the '05 and '06 WSS 
600
Not bothered.
Nice to see another constructive post from JohnP - Nice one john 
Builds up his post count, he’ll be on the why he cant go to poppins later 
He’s got a cockney accent (heard him on Reuters news). Still wearing the helmet tho.;);
I’m the stig 
If you’re talking about the stig of top gear, I really think he’s (or she’s) very cool! 
Don’t know who they are though.
I can not say I am the Stig but I also can not say I am not the Stig, all I will say is that I know the TG track very well 
I would imagine that there are several Stigs. Looking back at older footage. He’s changed size a fair bit. Thats since Perry got fired. Surely one person cant be available all the time…
your all wrong, I know who the STIG is heheheheheheehhehehehehe…
what? no Im not telling.
Im the STIG
There are many stigs
I heard that there are actually 3 Stigs and you can tell them apart by the colour of their gloves!
Apparently 1 of them is some German bloke!
I wanna meet him, all 3 of him!!!

The Stig gets started
Born in London in 1961, The Stig didn’t have the usual beginnings of a professional racing driver, where a wealthy background can allow total dedication to the sport. The Stig had to juggle his time zooming around racetracks at high speeds with the more mundane day job of working for a company that serviced North Sea oil rigs.
Stig gets the gig
Gradually working through the junior categories of European motor sport, The Stig soon became known as a highly gifted (if also slighty erratic) racing driver. Eventually The Stig was selected to test for the Arrows Formula 1 team and, despite making his mark in the squad, his big break didn’t arrive until the start of the 1992 Formula 1 season, when the Andrea Moda team snapped him up.
Stig in the dumps
It looked like big things were finally on the horizon for The Stig but, alas, the badly managed Andrea Moda team proved to be a bit of a shambles and their 1992 season soon fell apart. Amongst other things, The Stig rarely got more than a few practice laps at each event and he failed to qualify on each occasion. He eventually quit the team before the end of the season.
Stig on the small screen
The Stig never raced in Formula 1 again, although he did test for both the Williams and Benetton teams throughout the 1990s. And then, in 2001, the BBC came calling and for three years The Stig got to tear round the Top Gear race track, taking the latest supercars to their absolute limit.
The Stig slips up
In 2003, The Stig released his autobiography entitled Flat Out, Flat Broke, in which he spoke openly about his time in Formula 1. Whilst the book was well received, The Stig unfortunately let slip his real identity and a stunned world discovered that the man behind the helmet was in fact… Perry McCarthy!!
A stiggy end
With Perry McCarthy’s shocking revelation still reverberating around the globe, the unthinkable happened and tragedy struck. At the beginning of his fourth series of Top Gear, Perry McCarthy - as The Stig - attempted to outrun a Harrier jet along the length of an aircraft carrier. The world watched in horror as he failed to brake in time and plunged over the end to his watery doom. His body was never recovered…
Stig’s dead: long live Stig!
Despite the almost unbelievable events that had unfolded in front of their very eyes, Hammond, May and Clarkson managed to pull themselves together and begin the arduous task of searching for Stig Mark II. Pretty soon - almost straight away in fact - they found a worthy replacement for their lost hero and ‘New Stig’ was unleashed upon the world! And New Stig’s identity? Well, we couldn’t possibly comment…
