Perry McCarthy was the Stig, until he was "killed" in the aircraft carrier incident. He told in an interview (or in his book?) that he was The Stig and got fired instantly.
McCarthy = Black Stig
Collins = White Stig

But in the future after being knighted for bringing unbeatable driving skills and a wide variety of in-car entertainment to the world.

A lot of nice info here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_stig
plus this was in the Norwegian news also "In a Winter Olympics special episode of Top Gear, The Stig was shown doing a ski jump using a snowmobile. According to the Swedish tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet, the driver performing the ski jump stunt was Dan Lang, a Swedish snowmobile cross driver."

Yeah. And when Renault F1 went around the track in 59 seconds, the driver was Kovalainen. This text was on The Stig's Wikipedia page some time ago:
"In one episode a Renault F1 car was driven around the test track by Heikki Kovalainen the then test driver and current racer for the team."
Kovalainen was second test driver for Renault when the episode aired. He has admitted in driving the F1 for TG.

I was told it was NOT Kovalainen, or any Renault test driver by a Renault F1 engineer a few months after the timed lap.
Malcom seemed to not have any hints that he was pulling my chain. ... somewhere here, there is a picture of me with him...
