Here's the way I understand it.
The first STIG (in the black overalls) was a guy called Perry McCarthy. He released an autobiography (sound familiar ) in which he admitted to being the STIG so the BBC fired him. As far as I'm aware, while Ben Collins is the STIG (the new one in the white overalls) most of the time there are also a few drivers who have donned the white overalls when Ben is unavailable. I've heard rumours that Damon Hill and Nigel Mansell have "had a go", among others.
