In January it was revealed that the BBC employs no fewer than eight drivers to don his pristine racing whites.
The most high-profile is Heikki Kovalainen, the 27-year-old Finnish Formula One McLaren driver who is Lewis Hamilton's partner.
Former GT world championship racing driver Chris Goodwin, 41, has also starred as the Stig.
As has fellow Londoner Julian Bailey, a 47-year-old former Formula One racing driver who raced for the Tyrell and Lotus teams.
Stunt driver Terry Grant from Bushey in Hertfordshire has also slipped into the white racing leathers to become the Stig as has Russ Swift.
The role has also been taken on by Dan Lang, a Swedish snow mobile racing champion who in one stunt drove a snow mobile off a ski jump.
