No one knew but now its official. Professional race car driver Ben Collins has been identified through the High Court of London as, The Stig. Looks like last week BBC filed an injunction to block the publication of Collin's autobiography revealing his role of The Stig for the past seven years. Sadly it was denied, and we all know the truth.

The stig's secret identity had been a great marketing success for the Top Gear publication and television show. Now what? "With hoax viral Internet campaigns and a heavy dose of Stig merchandising, the BBC naturally want to perpetuate the charade. However, the lighthearted tone of court proceedings suggest this is all part of an elaborate plan to maximize media coverage for the both parties involved."

Although, we have to remember that the previous person who played the Stig character, Perry McCarthy, also revealed his role as The Stig via his autobiography called Flat Out, Flat Broke.
