Not always, deposits, fees, insurance. Some might insist on their own drivers, but most probably wouldn't. If they let Clarkson drive it around, what's the harm in letting Collins race it around an empty track?
They might keep the White Stig, obviously just a new driver.
It depends which car it is, most of the supercars come with drivers, or they did back in the day, I know that it was the reason for the Stig's hidden idenitity in the first place, perhaps now the show is the most respected motoring show on TV it may be different but I know the original idea behind the Stig was to hide the fact that it was a different person per car.

The Michael Schumacher thing shows they still do it, they get his ferrari and he wants to drive it so they make him the stig - only other difference is that they then used it as a publicity stunt.

I know Heikki Kovalainen or however you spell it also drove as the Stig once too.
