The Stig (2 December 1954 - 23 August 2008) was an anonymous race car driver, who was featured in Top Gear. Currently, the Stig is a white version, as The Black Stig, featured in Series 1 & 2, had died on the HMS Invincible.
There are also several other versions of the Stig, most of them being one of his many cousins, living in many different parts of the world.
The Stig died from a heart attack on 23 August 2008. He was 54.

VersionsEdit
The Stig's name derived from presenter Jeremy Clarkson's days at Repton School; where, according to Clarkson, new students were always called "Stig". A proposed name for the Stig was originally "The Gimp" until protests from Perry McCarthy nixed the idea. There have been two official Stigs on the show, while various other Stigs have made cameo appearances for particular episodes.
BlackEdit
The Black Stig
Main article: The Black Stig
The first Stig wore black overalls and helmet. It was introduced in the first episode of the current format by Jeremy Clarkson as the resident test driver, as the presenters could not consistently post fast times themselves. Clarkson noted that "we don't know its name, we really don't know its name, nobody knows its name, and we don't wanna know, cause it's a racing driver." Clarkson then described The Stig as having a very small brain, who had worthless opinions, a disorder described by Clarkson as "Mansell Syndrome". Its job description was to "just go out there and drive fast".
Black Stig posted a lap time of 1:46 for the Star in a Reasonably-Priced car segment. This Stig was used for the first two series of the show. It was then "killed off" at the start of the third series when he was shown driving a modified Jaguar XJ-S off the flight deck of HMS Invincible during a stunt and landing in the sea
Black Stig's last episode. Right before Old Stig drives off the end of HMS Invincible in an XJS. Never to be seen again
WhiteEdit
A new "White Stig" was introduced, wearing white overalls and helmet. White Stig has been featured in the show beyond just the Power Lap segment. His work has included driving cars in other segments of the show, for example finding a winner between the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, BMW M6 and Porsche 997 Carrera S on the Isle of Man, and racing against the hosts in a bid to see who would cross the starting line at a race track; White Stig driving a Caterham Seven kit car from Caterham, Surrey to Knockhill racetrack in Scotland against the hosts in assembling an identical car from the ground up. In Series 10 The Stig was recruited to take public transport in the Cross London Challenge and had to deal with such tasks as riding a bus, using an Oyster Card and having to answer a mobile phone (but instead just stared at the ringing device).
White Stig has also appeared outside Top Gear in some of Clarkson's motoring specials, such as The Good, The Bad, The Ugly where Clarkson reviewed and compared American and non-American cars, Heaven and Hell, where the Stig was used to compare the track times of the Chevrolet Corvette C6 and the TVR Sagaris, and raced Clarkson, in a BMW M5, with a Ferrari F430. In Clarkson's latest DVD, Supercar Showdown, The Stig (in a Porsche 911) raced Sabine Schmitz (in an Audi R8) around the Ascari track in Spain to see which was the fastest.
White Stig posted the fastest lap time of 1:44.4 around the Top Gear test track for the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment, until his record was beaten by formula 1 racing driver Rubens Barrichello with a lap time of 1:44:3; Clarkson now occasionally refers to this in his weekly introduction to the stig.
New StigEdit
The New Stig was discovered by Jeremy, Richard and James in Bethleham as a baby. Top Gear then brought this new stig along with them. When he was old enough to drive (a month, due to the growing speed of stigs) he set the fastest official time on the power lap board using the Ariel Atom 500. Then in the same episode (Season 16 Episode 1) he taught John Bishop how to drive the Kia Cee'd to drive around the test track. Bishop went on to be the fastest star in a reasonably priced car ever, with a time of 1.42.8, faster than Tom Cruise. New Stig was first seen in the 2011 Top Gear live tour. He was originally believed to be bred at the Top Secret Top Gear Farm. It is unknown why this idea was cut from the series. He is mostly white, with black accents on the boots, gloves and shoulders.
