Some say he's been the subject of BBC censorship and that he typed his memoirs in latin, all we know is he's called The Stig..

The character was created by Clarkson etc, so I can see why the beeb don't think the bloke who plays him has the right to make money off the name.
They could kill him off this next series and get Rubens Barachello to be the next Stig.

Or get Michael Schumacher back as a guest Stig?

The Stig's real identity is Ben Collins IIRC.

It's hard to look smug when you technically haven't got a face.
