Watching the following Youtube video clip, Sabina Scmitz is racing the Stig and as she's coming up behind Stig I'm sure she say's "I catch you PAUL" She then corrects herself as she overtakes by saying "Here we go, bye Stiggy".

Hmmmm.........Any famous racing drivers called Paul? :-/
-
One of the previous Stigs was Perry McCarthy, Le Mans driver, he usually gives a talk during the 24 hour race in the hospitality tent run by one of the motorsport tour companies, MRI, motor racing international, he let it slip during one of these Q & A sessions.
-
I thought she said I catch you Boy. Wish I could catch her.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know what it is about her but I just find her erm, well..........horny! ::) ;)

The Stigs identity is no real secret.
If you google for the H&S report on the hamster's crash he is refferred to several times by name as the resident expert.
Can't remember his name though, but I do have the report somewhere as a PDF, will try and dig it out.

Interesting scanning through that report, shows what is involved in making the programme.

He 'let it slip' in his book 'Flat out, flat broke', thats why he got the sack

I'm obviously going a bit mutton then 'cos it sounded to me like she said Paul. :-[ I have to admit after reading through a few articles from the above links that Ben Collins does seem to be the most likely candidate although I can't say he's that well known. I have heard of him but not many people have. ::)
-
I`ve just had a listen to the clip and I think it`s surely: "I`ll get the boy!" that she says. ::)
So, Jaime (aka Stiggy); you`ve been outed. ;)
P.S How do you keep that white 'baby-grow' so clean? ;D
-
the stig IS ben collins i'm afraid. just googled him. video footage on you tube aswell. :) :) :)

bah, someone told me it was damon hill hahaha
-
someone told me it was nigel mansell and that was the reason that as a guest as himself and not as stig he got fastest lap in f1 car out of three f1 cars and drivers on top gear track. OKAY NOW I STOP TELLING LIES BECAUSE I AM THE STIG.
-
;D This could get like Spartacus; "I`m the Stig"...."no, I`m the Stig" ;D
-
Johnny Herber's names been mentioned a few times as well.
-
maybe stig is tiff needell and doesn't want to risk his contract with 5th gear

Was there a bust up on Top Gear, or did Needles just want his own program.
Either way I cant see Top Gear letting Needles on the track. :-/

Nope. Stig can't be Tiffany Dell. The Stig has figured out that a car goes faster bonnet first rather than sideways. ;D

HGV Stig? ;D

I'm sure I read somewhere, after the relacement of the first Stig, that it was actualy several different people who played the part.
Might be wrong though my grey matter is a bit hazy these days! :-/ :-/

;D This could get like Spartacus; "I`m the Stig"...."no, I`m the Stig" ;D
or the othe quote.."I'm the Stig..and so is my wife!"
ISTR that Stig is usually Ben (confirmed by my boss who's a marshall at Silverstone), but occasionally other guest drivres...
