The Stig is a mysterious, masked character featured on the British motoring television show Top Gear and its successor, The Grand Tour. He is known for his role as the shows' test driver, evaluating cars on the track and providing lap times.

The Stig's identity has been a closely guarded secret, with multiple individuals portraying the character over the years. The original Stig, known as "Black Stig," was Perry McCarthy. After his departure, Ben Collins took over the role as "White Stig" for several years. Other individuals have also portrayed The Stig, keeping their identities anonymous.

Beyond his driving skills, The Stig is also a source of humor on the shows. He is known for his lack of communication, only communicating through gestures and a few canned responses, and is often the subject of jokes and playful ribbing from the presenters. The character's unique appeal lies in his enigmatic nature and exceptional driving abilities.
