The Stig (Series 3 onwards)The Stig is the mysterious "tame racing driver" of the popular BBC motoring show Top Gear. His name derives from presenter Jeremy Clarkson's schooldays at Repton School: "New boys at Repton were always called Stig".[1] All shots of the Stig show the same racing overalls (black in the first two series, white from series 3 and onward) and a helmet (of matching colour), but never reveal his identity. On 2005's Revved Up DVD, Richard Hammond is shown in the "Top Gear Bunker" opening a cupboard where they supposedly "keep" the Stig. A dead looking figure in the Stig's racing overalls is shown lying in the cupboard. Similarly, when the hosts went to the Isle of Man to test out the Porsche 911, the BMW M6, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2005), Jeremy Clarkson was dispatched to the airport to "pick up a special delivery" where the Stig is shown arriving on the baggage claim conveyor belt before being pushed out on a trolley by Clarkson.

The Stig's primary function on the show is to serve as an unbiased standard on which to test cars. His major role is driving various cars around the Top Gear test circuit. The times he sets with these cars are kept on a scoreboard that keeps track of the fastest cars that have been tested. The easy listening, prog rock and baroque music the Stig supposedly listens to in the car is a perennial source of amusement to the presenters — in Series 8, the Stig also listens to language tapes. His second duty is the training of whoever is the show's "Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car" (originally a Suzuki Liana, now a Chevrolet Lacetti) that week. Although he never speaks, The Stig is credited as a presenter on the show.

Answer 3

Damon Hill. First Stig was Perry. New Stig still secret officially. An assosciate of mine has seen Damon close to Top Gear site a few times.

Answer 4

The black stig became Perry McCarthy until he revealed it became him so they 'killed' him off whilst he drove off an Air tension service. the recent white stig is actual quite a few distinctive drivers finding on availability with the aid of fact the recent Stig has a plenty extra desirable function interior the sequence. Julien Bailey, Damon Hill and Mark Webber are all believed to of been 'the stig' recently.

Answer 5

In the first 22 episodes 'The Stig' wore black and was 'played' by Perry McCarthy

The new 'Stig' wears white and theres no mention of this person at all , but rumours have it , it could be a female???

Answer 6

I have answered this question once before...

Stig Biffy.... Or The Stig, used to be Perry McCarthy - he of the VW van fame with Jamie Oliver cooking a meal in the back...

He unfortunatly wrote off one too many cars and was replaced by the present Stig.... Who, it seems, wishes to remain anonymous.....

Answer 7

I think its Nigel Mansell, hes built the same way and if they have Nigel on the show as a guest, then he virtually always gets the same time as the stig on the circuit

Answer 8

This has been asked many times before on this site but cant remember who it was, try a past answers search
Oh ya its a fella called Perry McCarthy

Answer 9

I thought it was Damon Hill but when Damon went on to the show they had them both so unless they had a stand in that day I'm non the wiser.

Answer 10
