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

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
Edo Competition modifies the Ferrari FXX to be street-legal - [Ferrari FXX supercar] - MotorAuthority - Car news, reviews, spy shots

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.
