Ben Collins was born on February 13, 1975, in Bristol, United Kingdom, and spent his early childhood in California. His motorsport career began in 1994, competing in various categories including Formula Vauxhall Junior, where he achieved third overall with two wins. He then moved into British Formula 3, notably finishing second at the 2000 Masters of Formula 3 race at Zandvoort. Collins also competed in Indy Lights in 1999 and the FIA Sportscar Championship with Team Ascari, where he secured a win at Donington Park in 2001. His racing prowess was further demonstrated by winning the European Stock Car Championship in 2003 with RML.
Beyond competitive racing, Collins gained widespread recognition for his role as ‘The Stig’ on the popular BBC series Top Gear for nearly a decade, starting in December 2003. In this anonymous capacity, he performed numerous driving stunts and instructed celebrities. His skill set extended to the film industry, where he served as a precision and stunt driver for major productions. He notably doubled for James Bond in “Quantum of Solace” (2008), “Skyfall” (2012), and “Spectre.” His work on “Skyfall” earned him a Taurus World Stunt Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award, followed by a second Screen Actors Guild award for “Fast & Furious 6” (2013), where he doubled for Vin Diesel.
Collins’ career progression includes a transition from hidden identity on screen to a more public persona as a presenter for shows like Channel 5’s “Fifth Gear” and Polish TVN’s “Automaniak.” He has authored a book, “The Man in The White Suit,” detailing his experiences. He also works as a driving consultant, contributing to video games like Project CARS and Project CARS 2. More recently, he has established a presence on YouTube with channels like Ben Collins Drives and Ben Collins Gaming, and serves as a co-host for the DriveTribe YouTube channel, alongside Richard Hammond and his daughter, Izzy Hammond.
