The Stig is a racing driver on the revised format of the BBC motoring show Top Gear. He is cast as a mysterious "tame racing driver" whose identity is unknown, and who never speaks on camera. Nonetheless he is fully credited as a presenter along with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
His primary function on the show is to drive various cars during segments of the programme, most often around the Top Gear test circuit, setting times which are then recorded on the Power Lap board. His second duty is to train whoever is the show's Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car that week.
The Stig's name derives from presenter Jeremy Clarkson's schooldays at Repton School.[1] He was originally going to be called "The Gimp"

His identity is being kept secret by the BBC programme, but I suspect that he might be a Swedish or Finnish professional rally driver.
Have seen "him" given a credit under the name Anni-Frid Stig, but suspect that was a deception.
Keep guessing?
