The Stig has been revealed. One of the best kept secrets in today's automotive world was the identity of top Gear's test driver, known as The Stig. Telegraph has revealed today the mysterious white wheel magician is Ben Collins, a professional stuntman and Le Mans racer. Collins has competed in NASCAR, Formula 3, Le Mans and GT series.
The 33-year-old driver told what his day job is to someone at the Bristol gallery while trying to produce a print of The Stig in action. The person from the gallery also claims he actually saw Stig's costume in a display in Collins' home.
Unfortunately for Ben Collins, this could be a very serious mistake as he could lose his job over this event. The previous black "version" of the Stig, Perry McCarthy, lost his job after making public the identity of the driver behind the mask.
Top Gear has not commented yet over this event.
