  • Ferrari FXX on Top Gear

    Has anybody seen the new Top Gear with Schumacher in the FXX? He was 7 seconds faster than the previous record holder: the Gumpert. Unbelievable

    Indeed unbelievable x 2

    That FXX was utterly impressively fast and I never ever thought Shumi was the stig.

      Schumi isn't 'the' Stig. He was only 'a' Stig in this episode.
      Didn't you guy's notice the last remarks of Clarkson

        Isn't there any site where we can see the full episode??
        I've already looked at the site of Top Gear, but you have to be in the UK if you want to show that episode... don't ask me why :P.

            And I think they will remove the FXX from the board, because 1) it is not streetlegal and 2) it is not able to go across a "sleeping policeman" without scratching.

            Fastest car around the course up to now is the Renault F1 car from 2005 or 2006 with under a minute.

              The FXX can be streetlegal

                I think the Gumpert and a few others are not able to cross over a "sleeping policeman".

                  Reason given for removal was use of slicks .... so why don't they put it on some street tyre ?

                    It was just an excuse. Otherwise they had the discussion if the FXX is street legal or not. And this is just the easy way out.

                      Also, all the cars on the list are driven by the Stig to make them as comparable as possible.

                      Having MS drive the FXX (his personal FXX I think), was just a special, one off event. I'm happy to have seen it.

                        Rijk, it seems very likely the Stig is actually not one person but a number of different drivers. I do agree there was something behind the scenes that forced the FXX off the list though.

                          It can, you can order a lifting-system for the front when you order your new Gumpert.


                          And yes, you can make a FXX streetlegal, but it don't come with a license plate from the manufacturer and that were the rules they used so far. (which is OK for my point of view)

                            I know that, but all these drivers were supposedly in the same league. How many seconds difference would there be between MS and the Stig. Not only between the quality of the drivers themselves, but also MS's intimate knowledge of a car that he developed as well as owns.

                              + the use of slick tires.
