In an accident report after Hammond's crash, Health and Safety (yes I love those guys) had Ben Collins listed as someone who worked with Top Gear as a performance driver and consultant. In the report it also says he had prepared a briefing for Hammond prior to the accident.

In numerous episodes I do remember either the hosts or the stars in a reasonably priced car mentioning they have spoken to the Stig (aka Top Gear's performance driver and consultant) before going on the track to do a power lap, etc.

Looks like Top Gear’s mystery test driver has been unmasked again, and it turns out the man in the white suit is not immortal or superhuman, but is in fact President Barack Obama. For years now literally nobody who watches the hit TV show has wanted to know the identity of its secret wheelman, but the cat is out of the bag after a White House cleaner found Obama stuffing the famous white suit into a desk drawer at the Oval office. Possibly.
When grilled further by the cleaner, Obama apparently broke down and confessed that it was he who’d piloted monster £200,000 plus, 200mph-plus hypercars such as the Bugatti Veyron and the Ferrari Enzo round the Top Gear track. Or so The Mole hears.
He apparently added that when the show was off air he’d decided to use the spare time to run for President in the United States of America: “I didn’t expect to win, it was just something to do until the Autumn series,” Obama told the gobsmacked cleaner, probably.
He also revealed that he now feared losing his job as the man in the white suit. “I expect being President of the United States of America is pretty full on, but I’d hate to miss the next series because we’ll probably be putting that new Ferrari round the track,” someone reckons he said once.

The "mystery" of the Stig is pure entertainment and part of the character BBC and Top Gear created. The death of the Stig and birth of a new Stig are episode ideas that become a franchise within a franchise. The absence and anonymity of the Stig are just clauses in a contract (probably controlled by large financial penalties). The "death" of the Stig is probably part of a predetermined contractual agreement. Free agent time.
