Go post in someone's topic that you normally wouldn't
The lap in the reasonably priced car would tend to suggest not :)

£1million to own a FXX and only drive it when Ferrari say so? *In my best David Dickenson voice* BWARGAIN!

I hope not I want one in Ferrari Red goddam it!! :P

And no Schumie isn't the usual Stig. However it was quite a good little on screen joke between him and Jezza. Speaking of which the train should have won that hands down.

Yeah Grizz and Dave, its not him all the time, that was a one off. For example its often a one off, like the time he drove the Renault F1 car, that was Heikki Kovaleinen at the time, because he was the Renault test driver. Its also been Perry McCarthy, and Damon Hill, and as Tinners said, Ben Collins (though I have never heard of him lol). And the Stig was created to allow Tiff Needell to work for the BBC while also on 5th Gear on Channel 5, at least to start with anyway.

They come in Red, Yellow, Blue and Black, however they all have a Stripe up the middle, apart from Schumachers which is all Black.

Well I would assume you tell Ferrari when and where you want to drive it. Either way, it did the Top Gear track in 7 SECONDS less than any other car! I want it!

In fact, I'm gonna go watch that lap again. Normally I don't have clue how fast the lap is from the footage, but that thing was like when you get one of the top end cars on a video game!

Though I notice on their powerlap board they didn't have the Bugatti Veyron and the Caterham 7 super thingy that went fastest last series, where have they gone? As they were the top of the board last series, but they gone now. The FXX was still quicker than them, but even so.

Obviously, and that was never in any doubt. To have Michael Schumacher actually be a test driver for a television series would be a potential coup of the century.

But, did anyone seriously expect him to be the one behind the visor last night? ;)
