Default The Stig unmasked (or un helmeted)

Just watched the opening episode of Top Gear and The Stig drove a Ferrari FXX to a new track record and then took off his helmet. And rumors had it right. It was Michael Schumacher

Not really, Ferrari wouldn't let anyone else drive the FXX. They also took the time off the board because the FXX was on track only tires.

You know this is old news ?
This was last season.

The Stig has changed a few times, but i liked the way they played us on th FXX , it was screaming around there ALOT faster than anything else.
1.10 if i remember correct.
Radical , Koenigsegg, Zonda etc. around 1.17 - 1.19

And now Michael is back in F1, cant wait it will be almost as exciting
as Corvette vs. Flying Lizard

BBC America runs the seasons behind quite a bit. About 6 months ago, they ran a "new" season that had to have been about 3 or 4 years old.

I thought it was Schumi's FXX. Also, it had race slicks. (Not just Schumi responsible for the quicker pace.)
