The Stig is the tamed racing driver. They like to keep his identity a mystery and it is written into the driver's contracts to keep it so.
The idea is to prevent leaks about upcoming episodes and seasons, test gone awry or anything that is basically unairable.
While the hosts are all very good drivers in their own right, nothing compares to a seasoned professional driver pushing the limits of the most advanced engineering in the world around their test track.
BTW Al, The Ring Queen's name is Sabine Schmidt. She drives the "Ring Taxi" for a living. Basically for a small fee you get to be the passenger in the ultimate BMW joy ride in the world. She beats the car hard enough that the tires don't even last a whole day normally
Not the prettiest woman I have ever seen, but goddam can she drive.
