Perry McCarthy,[4] Russ Swift,[48] and an unnamed former Stig[41] have claimed that there is more than one driver who plays the role of The Stig. James May claims that there is a clause in The Stig's contract that should his identity be exposed, either through his own willingness or via a member of the Top Gear staff (including the hosts of Top Gear), he has to be fired. Black Stig was supposedly let go via this clause; the same clause would apply also to White Stig under the same circumstances.[56] In August 2010, the BBC was reportedly attempting to block HarperCollins from publishing an unauthorised book that reveals the identity of the White Stig;[6] this led to the Sunday Times to declare Ben Collins as The Stig via information from Ben Collin's financial reports from his firm, Collins Autosport. In one report from December 2003, a financial report noted the firm providing "driving services provided for the BBC, mainly in the Top Gear programme"; around the same time, White Stig was introduced onto the show. A BBC spokesman downplayed the idea, noting Collins driving in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution as an example of the services Collin's firm provides the show.[57][58]

Other Stigs
There have been various cameo appearances by other Stigs on Top Gear.
Series 9 Episode 3 was set in the United States, with the presenters purchasing American cars and driving them across four states whilst on holiday. One of the challenges set for the presenters was for the cars to set a lap time around a racetrack, for which "The Stig's American Cousin" was introduced. This Stig was nicknamed "Big Stig" by the presenters because of his overweight appearance[18] and was noted by Clarkson to have a "very relaxed driving style".[19]
Series 10 Episode 4 featured the presenters driving across Botswana. To test the performance of the three cars used by the presenters around a dirt rally track, Clarkson introduced "The Stig's African Cousin". This incarnation of The Stig had dark skin, and wore only Puma racing boots, a loincloth and the iconic white helmet. He set lap times for two of the cars, but walked away from the track when Clarkson's Lancia Beta failed to start. The others joked that African Stig was "in a hurry", and decided "not to take your [Clarkson's] car".[20]
Series 12 Episode 1 featured "The Stig's Lorry-Driving Cousin" (nicknamed by Clarkson as "Rig Stig" after a remark by Hammond at this Stig's arrival), who represented the stereotypical lorry driver, with the whole right sleeve of his white racing suit sunburned, and having a rather portly appearance. He demonstrated to Clarkson, May and Hammond that it was possible to powerslide a lorry cab.[21]
Series 12 Episode 1 included a series preview montage, which mentioned "The Stig's Communist Cousin", shown riding a motorbike wearing a red jumpsuit.[21] The sequence was cut from the broadcast episode due to insufficient time[22] but footage of Stig's Communist cousin was included in the extra materials of the Top Gear Great Adventures 2 DVD set in Vietnam.[23]
Series 14 Episode 2 introduced "The Stig's Vegetarian Cousin", wearing an all-green ensemble consisting of overalls with solar panels on the top of his helmet, and Birkenstock sandals with socks. This Stig supposedly died from inhaling the exhaust fumes of the hybrid car he was testing at the time. He was nicknamed "Janet Stig Porter" by Clarkson.[24]
Series 15 Episode 2 introduced "The Stig's German Cousin", wearing the original Stig's overalls, whilst sporting a mullet, hence the nickname "Stiggy Ray Cyrus". Jeremy Clarkson also referred to him as "Herr Stig".
International Top Gear Stigs
Top Gear Australia's version of The Stig is similarly attired to the UK White Stig, and his identity is likewise kept a secret. Marketing in the lead up to the series had stated he was "The Stig's Australian cousin",[25] but in the first episode he was introduced as just "The Stig". In the first episode of the second series, co-host Steve Pizzati clarified that he is an 'Australian Stig' and is not intended to be the same Stig from the UK series.[26] Earlier, Pizzati had suggested that The Stig have an 'Australian' name, such as "Stiggo", but the other presenters refused.[27]
Top Gear Russia also features their own version of The Stig, nicknamed "Stigushka" by the hosts.
