The stig speaks

[mat-vrs]

Quite right, it is Ben Collins..

I got my stigs mixed up :(

[sharkrider]

I doubt its any F1 (or ex-F1) driver, because if you listen to the commentaries, they say "the F1 drivers all like to take a different line around that corner than the stig does..."

Ben Collins driving the #84 car in the 2003 SCSA championshipBen Collins (born February 13, 1977) is a single seater and sports car driver from Bristol, England. He started his motorsport career in 1994, competing in Formula First and Formula Vauxhall Junior on his way to International Formula 3. In the late 1990s, he also worked as a racing instructor at Castle Combe Circuit in Wiltshire, UK. After success in ASCAR stock car racing he was signed by PDM to do selected rounds of the 2004 Indy Racing League, but the car never appeared. In 2005, he competed in the British GT Championship in a Porsche 996 GT3.

[edit] Ben Collins 'outed' as The Stig

Appearing on a New Zealand Motorsport television programme called 'Pit Lane' on January 17th 2007, A1GP team manager and British motorsport personality David Sears was questioned if he knew the identity of the Top Gear test driver known only as "The Stig". Without hesitation and in a very matter-of-fact manner he replied, "Oh, you want to know who the Stig is... Ben Collins, he's a British sportscar driver, Ben Collins".

However there has been no statement confirming or denying this from the creators of the Top Gear series, the BBC.

It certainly sounds like damon hill but i agree he does look a little short to be him, and possibly thinner. Damon was on the tv over the weekend (f1) and he has gone a little podgy.
