Schumacher as the stig?
Schumacher revealed as The Stig 22 Jun 2009
Everybody who was watching the first episode of season 13 of Top Gear yesterday, was in for a very big surprise. 'The Stig' was reaveled in the shape of World Champion Michael Schumacher. Earlier this year, the British newspapers unmasked the Stig as Ben Collins, however it is believed that the white driver is played by several drivers.

The whole episode was epic! 
PS: the FXX is still not a proper GT racer. DBR9 with a lot less power did it 2 seconds faster, IIRC. FXX is like a half way through from Enzo to... erm MC12 GT1 maybe?
Now I'd like to see how close can the new 599-XXX get (or whatever they call it).

That fast is beautiful, though.

I expect them to surely take it down as it is not road legal. Heck they even took the Caparo T1 (was that its name, i dont remember?) off cause even though it was road legal it was not within reason to actually use it as one (couldnt get over speed bumps and so on).
Schumi being stig is for sure a joke, but it was an incredible moment for sure (EDIT: two for sures, im becoming an F1 driver if seems). I noticed during the Fxx lap the driving to be different to the stigs, it was on another level, simply flawless. And for sure, that was because the driver is in fact on another level.

Stock FXX comes with Bridgestone slicks no?
I'd imagine a tire made for that car for a purpose letting million dollar playboys are not going to be as competitive as race spec Michelin the DBR9 uses. Also not sure of what downforce level actually FXX is capable of....
The car do bounces around like Pogostick though, doesn't seem very settled...

That is soo much cooler than the F1 intro we spaniards endure in La Sexta:
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.
