Final Top Gear Stig’s Identity Revealed by Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson revealed many facts about his career during a recent screening of the show's finale, including the identity of Top Gear's longest-serving test driver.
Now that both Top Gear and The Grand Tour are over (at least until they’re brought back with new hosts) it seems the former hosts are willing to dish out some secrets—one of which is the identity of the third and final Stig. During a Q&A at the screening of the series’ final episode, Jeremy Clarkson finally revealed who the most recent tamed racing driver was. Some say he only knows two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong, but all we now know is that he’s called Phil Keen.
Over the course of 33 seasons, there were three different Stigs. The first two were Perry McCarthy, the British Le Mans and Formula 1 driver, and Ben Collins, the British racing driver and stunt ace. McCarthy’s Stig was the only one to wear a black racing suit and only lasted two seasons. Collins lasted much longer but was eventually let go from Top Gear in 2010 after revealing his identity as The Stig in his autobiography The Man in the White Suit. However, the third and final Stig’s identity was kept secret up until just a few days ago.
