The Stig's true identity is never revealed on the show, and in order to maintain the secrecy, all shots show him wearing full racing overalls and matching helmet. All that can be seen from the gap between his helmet and jumpsuit is that he is a white male with dark hair. It is also known that he wears size 10 racing boots as discovered by the Sunday Times when the Driving section wrote an article about the show
The identity of the first Stig was revealed to be Perry McCarthy when his book Flat Out, Flat Broke was published in 2003. McCarthy is a former Formula 1 driver and test driver for the Benetton, Arrows and Williams teams, and also tested for BMW F1.
The identity of the new Stig has not been officially revealed. However, rumours abound that several racers take the role of the Stig in various capacities. In a Winter Olympics special episode of Top Gear, the Stig was shown doing a ski jump using a snowmobile. According to the Swedish tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet, the snowmobile driver performing the ski jump stunt was Dan Lang, a Swedish snowmobile cross driver.[10] In January 2006, a Daily Express article reported that Julian Bailey is secretly "The Stig".
Mark Webber with an "I AM THE STIG" T-shirt presented to him by Jeremy.Fans of the show have speculated that the current Stig is a former or current Formula 1 driver. The show has capitalised on this speculation by hosting several F1 drivers on the programme, ambiguously hinting that any of them may be the Stig without ever revealing his true identity. The Top Gear website also lists The Stig under the F1 drivers section of the Power Lap board.
On the episode of June 26, 2005, Damon Hill appeared as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. When asked directly by Clarkson if he was the Stig, Hill evaded the question and did not provide an outright denial or confirmation.[11] Mark Webber was interviewed on July 31, 2005 and at the conclusion of his lap Clarkson presented him with an "I AM THE STIG" T-shirt. Webber was then warned not to wear it around the F1 paddock, as "Michael doesn't always wear red".
When former F1 driver Nigel Mansell appeared on the show, Jeremy Clarkson noted that the Stig theorised that the Suzuki Liana (the show's "reasonably priced car" at the time) could achieve a 1:44 time on the track. Mansell proved the Stig's theory by lapping in a time of 1:44.6. Clarkson also noted that Mansell's line through the first corner was the same as the one taken by the Stig.
During the review of Jenson Button's lap, Clarkson commented that he, as did most of the other F1 drivers, took very different racing lines than the Stig. Button commented that "...obviously, the Stig isn't a Formula One Driver".

True knowledge IS knowing that we KNOW nothing. Exemplified within advances in science, astrology, medicine, etc. There were times when we "knew" the Earth was flat. Even Sir Isaac Newton "proved" meteors could not exist, yet now... Knowledge is not subjective, as suggested by your definition of perception @ nameless. Knowledge is stone cold fact, irrefutable, we do not have one single item available to us that meets this criteria within all given Philosophical, Mathematical, Astrological, Physical, Psychological, Empirical, Historical, etc, criteria .There are proofs that prove that something as simple as 1+1 does not equal 2. Descartes Vs Hume , Cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore, I am), vs abstract knowledge of the external world. Nothing, at all, is arguably "fact", and even with proofs, could easily be disproved later in time. Looks like Socrates was a little out of your league (@nameless), but 2 girls, one cup, right up your alley (hey, the cup was empty before filled, right).

Dont know......but he,s FAST. His racing lines are different from an F1 drivers. My theory is it could be a world class rally driver. Colin Macrae...? He is also a top notch motorcyclist.
