My guess in a long time racer named Mike Green! I saw him at Laguna Seca in August 09 and Pebble Beach on Sunday… then in Sept he appeared at the Danville d’Elegance… we have photo proof!

Secondly, Collins didn't out himself, he was outed by a newspaper, maybe you should do a bit more research before writing articles... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/article5548705.ece Firstly, you called him Ben Hill instead of Ben Collins in the first line of the article.

Why can't people just leave this alone and let the mystery be there. It's more fun not knowing who the person is, while thinking that maybe when The Stig blinks it sounds like a camera. To all journalists: Please just leave this mystery be. What’s the big infatuation with wanting to know who The Stig is?

Some folks think he didn't actually die, of head injuries, when testing a variant of the Ford GT-40 in 1966. In 2003, Brock Yates reported in Car and Driver, that a retired detective had found someone claiming to be a "former racecar driver" who looked a lot like the late (??) Ken Miles, trundling around Wisconsin in an equally aged station wagon; yet driving the stawag in the manner one would expect a retired racer to do. There was even a photo of this man, looking like a computer generated image of how Ken Miles might have aged, dressed in jeans and a lumberjack shirt. However, when Brock Yates tried to track the man down, he had moved to Florida and his fate was unknown. Call it the automotive equivalent of the X-Files.
