Well, there are two Stigs. The original, black Stig, who was Perry McCarthy, was "killed off" at the start of the 3rd series of the show after he had revealed his identity.
The new, white Stig, isn't a single person. One of the power laps and the snowmobile jump were surely done by someone else than the regular Stig. The snowmobile jump was probably done by a proffesional snowmobile pilot, in the Winter Olympics episode, while at the end of 2004, the Renault R24 was piloted by the Stig in 59 seconds; but for that run, it seems that the person in the white overalls was the current Renault test driver, Heikki Kovalainen, back then part of the Renault Driver Development program.

It was Perry Mcarthy but there's some speculation if there's a new Stig now.
I suppose they don't acknowledged the Stig by name because he's a load faster than that oaf of an a*se, Jeremy Clackson. The last thing Clarkson wants on his show is being upstaged by anyone who can drive faster than him, or do anything he's too scared of, like ride a motorcycle.

Hello,
no idea, but that shall the great thing about Stig.
In fact he or she is a very good driver, at least it seems so. And there is one more reason why nobody shall know where Stig is, as nobody know him, whom can exchange him when ever whom want or must. Nobody can notice that. Very clever.

I think Rally rather than F1 as you do. Not sure who though, sorry.
