The Stig Revealed

[mnickels]

So his name is Ben Collins. Anyone else disappointed? How did he not tell his mates that?

[Chriss]

Thought that was common knowledge , I've known that for ages

It has been revealed as him before a few times. In fact Clarkson even mentioned it in the show once saying "a newspaper claimed that the stig was a bloke from Bristol". However.. it is not always him - and that is the beauty of the stig persona. Sometimes they will use other drivers, but of course if they look too obviously different then they are referred to as "Stig's cousin" etc. Heikki Kovalainen for example drove as The Stig in a formula one car, and some other bloke drove a skidoo as the Stig in the "Winter Special".

Is that your surname 2 then as I have never thought of what the C stood for. Also he is quite similar in appearance to u???

I thought Darren was more of a Russ Swift (one of the "other" Stigs):
