    It used to be Perry Mccarthy, who was the first Stig, he had a fall out with the BBC after he was bragging about being the Stig, and was replaced by Ben Collins, although you may find that there are numerous drivers on some of the serious high performance cars dependant upon the manufacturers demands. :D

    It's not my mate either. If it were, we'd be treated to the spectacle of an Aston Martin DB9 being driven round the track at 45mph in the middle lane.
    Can I help?
