I see it going that way as well.

Another possibility would be having James May beat him in some sort of race where the Stig then immediately drives what ever car he is in right off the track and away into the distance while throwing his helmit and racing gear out the window. Everyone could be just standing around watching in disbelief.

the BBC sucks
his identity was revealed in the episode where Clarkson May Hammond and Collins entered a BMW 330 diesel in a 24 hour race . that was years ago . there was a camera shot of the pit monitor showing the drivers names .
everyone already knew his identity . I have seen his name in newspapers and internet for a couple of years .
a builder working at his home spotted the white suit and helmet in a glass case and started speculation of his identity .
it`s not so easy to keep a secret like that these days anyway .

I remember that episode, but I didn't catch the name on his suit. You are right though, it is hard to keep a secret like that.

Hmmm.
Hasn't there been three people in the white suit, the last one being...
Michael Schumacher.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, James May comes clean and admits that he was The Stig.

And the Stig is... - Telegraph

Meanwhile, to disguise my identity, I'd also appear occasionally on the programme as myself, where I would cultivate an air of indifference to speed and feign an inability to remember which way racing circuits went.

It was a very clever strategy. In time, the nickname Captain Slow would "emerge" and I would begin to espouse the doctrine of "Christian Motoring", which was handed to me in a pub one night, printed on rice paper and sealed in a plain envelope, and later eaten.

It was way mire exciting not knowing who he was....but thanks for letting me know! It's not getting as much publicity as I thought it would
