    It was Perry, didn't he die in a carrier accident back on the Top Gear show number 24637 when he drove off the edge? They replaced him with a white stig, unless it was all a con for him to change the colour of his racing outfit.

    It WAS Perry McCarthy, he blew his cover by revealing his identity as the Stig, so the Top Gear team had to kill him off by catapulting a car with a black dummy in it off HMS Hermes.

    No one knows for sure who the current one is

    It's got to be someone fairly special , given that they let them round the track in an ex-F1 car, IIRC. Which leads me to think it miust be someone with a history of F1 cars, as they wouldn't risk it with anyone who didn't know what was going on and who was experienced with them. Which leads me to Damon Hill.

    It was Perry. and apparently then a number of drivers did it including Johnny Herbert and Nicolas Minassian but Im pretty sure Ben Collins does most of them now, on the authority of someone who was taught by him for army training of somesorts.

    AFAIK it wasn't The Stig who drove the F1 car around the track as they wouldn't let him. So it can't be anyone with F1 experience. Plus, how would he hide all of that hair of his??
