Irvine has made a fortune since F1 alone..... It's fairly safe to say it isn't him

Wasn't it in all the papers the other week that it's Ben Collins?

I think it is several different people. It is either that or the Stig keeps undergoing crash diets.

I suspect that at times it is a woman.

I think that was sometime F1 driver Perry McCarthy

Racing drivers don't tend to be known in this country unless they are in F1 (and doing well)

Many have lucrative and successful careers away from the limelight. I bet Justin Wilson could still walk around Meadowhall and not get hassled except maybe in or near the F1 shop (and he's from Sheffield)

aaaaw, I always hoped it was Damon Hill.

I think Damon has made a little bit too much money to be bothered with it. Plus it would be impossible to keep it under wraps for any legnth of time

It's definitely Ben Collins. The inquiry into the Richard Hammond crash named him.

A discussion about a chap's helmet seems rather personal.

Take a look at item 37, Visit of Ben Collins (BC) to PTLE in

I found that earlier, but I'm sure I've seen a HSE document that actually states that the stig and Ben Collins are one and the same. This was at the time of the inquiry, but surely not even Auntie Beeb could have had that supressed?

The beeb did ask if the identity of the stig could be removed from the document, however they refused as it's an official report / government documentation.

If you watch the re-runs on Dave, Ben Collins is the dude who drives the Merc down the runway so his parachuting chum can land in the back seat. He's also one of the drivers in the Toyata Aygo football match.
