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]

Who forced the issue anyway.  Who really cares who he was, was part of the entertainment for the show.
