Any thoughts on who "The Stig" really is?

Pretty sure he's not ex F1 driver, maybe rally etc?? What do you think?

Answers:
Well, there are two Stigs. The original, black Stig, who was Perry McCarthy, was "killed off" at the start of the 3rd series of the show after he had revealed his identity.
The new, white Stig, isn't a single person. One of the power laps and the snowmobile jump were surely done by someone else than the regular Stig. The snowmobile jump was probably done by a proffesional snowmobile pilot, in the Winter Olympics episode, while at the end of 2004, the Renault R24 was piloted by the Stig in 59 seconds; but for that run, it seems that the person in the white overalls was the current Renault test driver, Heikki Kovalainen, back then part of the Renault Driver Development program.
Have a few thoughts a rally driver or retired formula one possibly Damon hill
I think Rally rather than F1 as you do. Not sure who though, sorry.
He used to test F1 cars for mcclaren but I can't remember his name!
not sure but do ya thinbk he is one man ?
his name is perry mcarthy who used to test cars for mclaren and benneton
why does everyone think its a man?could be a woman
Some people think he's Nigel Mansell.
Hello,
no idea, but that shall the great thing about Stig.
In fact he or she is a very good driver, at least it seems so. And there is one more reason why nobody shall know where Stig is, as nobody know him, whom can exchange him when ever whom want or must. Nobody can notice that. Very clever.
The first stig was definately Perry Mccarthy. There are many romors about who the second one is.

has to have an F! license as he drived an F1 car in the last series. Im guessing they have a few Stigs that they use depending on availibility
He is the bloke that works down my chip shop with a bloke that thinks he's Elvis..( he dose a great sav and chicken )
It was Perry Mcarthy but there's some speculation if there's a new Stig now.

I suppose they don't acknowledged the Stig by name because he's a load faster than that oaf of an a*se, Jeremy Clackson. The last thing Clarkson wants on his show is being upstaged by anyone who can drive faster than him, or do anything he's too scared of, like ride a motorcycle.
