That's what I've always thought too, there's a lot of reasons why it might be

Been corrected before on other forums by people that seem to know what they are talking about though

There is a bigger reason why it's not, Clarkson does not like Tiff.....

The original Stig from the first series was Perry McCarthey (don't think that's how it's spelt)
More recently it's been Ben Collins.
But the episode where they do the lap time with the Renault F1 car, was their own test driver.

But from the new series next month, it's supposed to be someone new again.

Did anyone notice Tiff's wry comment on a recent fifth gear. "Stig that up your tailpipe!".
