It's whoever is available at the time of the filming from a list of drivers, which is the reason you never see their face.
Perry McCarthy did most of the black stig, Nicolas Minassian also did some.

Mate's a crew member on TG and he says they use several Stig's - all depends on who's avail for the shoot day - makes sense really as they get no glory and what with F1 schedules 
!
Of course pls dont let this cat out the bag as it makes a slight mockery of the >adopts deep breathy Clarkson statement making type voice< laptime list (worse then the weather itself!)

You too have relished in the gastronomic delights of an Awful Awful burger. How mental are they? I lived there between 1988 and 1993. Havn't been back since 1997 so I'm sure a lot of eating has changed. S'pose better keep thread on topic

LOL, I can't beleve some of the bitching about these drivers. To even get to the fringes of F1 is a feat very few people make.
I don't see why the stig couldn't be someone really famous, it looks like a good fun job.
