Personally I think they should get ready the old toyota hilux pickup they have on display and think of a good ending for the stig using that

i've known that was the Stig for a long time so yes that is who it is. He was a British F3 champion and also writes for Autosport and a number of other motor racing mags.
With the number of celebs they have on the star in a reasonably priced car i'm amazed this hasn't come out long ago

wel I guess I didn't know for certain as I had been told over at DS and not everything on the net is true.
I also heard about Julian Bayley being the Stig before again only via the internet so no real way of knowing if it was true.
The original one was Perry McCarthy and that is mentioned on the cover of his biography so that one is true

I hope they are saying that to just confuse people - otherwise it renders the power laps table meaningless.

Agreed Punky... although they're "officially" saying it was Graham Hill  which is obviously a prank, they're just trying to put smoke and mirrors up to stop people digging further

There have been other stigs,
for example when they had, I think it was a Renault, F1 car go round the test track, that was a Renault Test Driver in the stig uniform not the usual stig.
They also had differing stigs when they been testing prototypes and such like.
