of course....

The FXX is his car, I'd imagine Ferrari sent him as an ambassador to run the car on the TG track...

suprised they let the lap stand though, consider the car is not street legal...

Too bad he didn't do the F1 power lap...

The FXX is truly special.

The whole episode was epic! :shock: =D>

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).

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.

In my opinion that intro is pretty cool.

I don't think Schumi is the Stig, and at the end of the show Jeremy said he doesn't think Schumi is the Stig.
