i remember earlier in the year it was leaked that the stig was the stunt driver from the james bond movies etc........ so +1 on the publicity stunt!

Quote:
Schumacher's FXX differs from others in that it is the only black FXX without a stripe, it comes with red trim on the wheels, it has matte exhaust tips (regular FXX's have chrome tips), and his personal logo is stitched on the racing seats.

From the wikipedia FXX page:
Quote:
Suspension: triple wishbones with push-rod actuated coil-shock units

Wouldn't the third wishbone be a little redundant?

The news reports are LOL.
It's obviously a stunt cos he's there with his FXX. If i wasn't so lazy i'd go back and compare his line around the track with normal Stig. I recall reading somewhere that normal Stig doesn't take an F1 drivers line. You'd assume Schumacher would.
