Hope this is not a repost...

The man behind the mask: Top Gear's Stig stares back (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/the-man-behind-the-mask-top-gears-stig-stares-back/)

I kinda agree with the comments in the article, I don't think I want to know who it is...but funny that some one caught this.

spooky.

Honestly, I think its more fun if we just leave the Stig as a mystery guy.

If you want to know who the Stig is, it's clearly written in Richard Hammond's crash report.

Yeah, I guess that would be the one place where it would have to have his identity. Kinda makes my article look lame now :rofl:

Here you go:

I "think" it's #37.

EDIT: After further review I'm less sure it's #37. I'll continue to read on.

It's #37. It explains how this person is a regular driver and consultant for the show.

I assumed that they used a different stig depending on the car and situation. For example if they were tracking an enzo Ferrari would send over one of their drivers and dress him as the Stig although the Stig always seems to have the same driving style.

There are different Stigs for special occasions that doesn't work for the normal Stig. But in most cases, the Stig is one person.

Hmm... It sounds likely that it is 37, but not definitive. The report makes it sound like he serves as a technical and driving adviser for the show.

Well now I'm reading that there's #37, the main Stig, but companies can send in their own if they want. Apparently there's proof of Renault and Ferrari using their test drivers when their F1 cars were on the show.

I dunno. I'm just glad I finally know who this guy is.

Don't post who it is for those that don't want to know.

For those that don't believe it, the current Stig did an interview which is on youtube. Take a peek at that. Next, look up the person in #37, he also has youtube interviews. That should end all speculation.
