It's was a publicity stunt to get everyone talking about top gear and the stig and that is exactly what it has done.

The FXX is a race car, an 860bhp factory ferrari race car to be exact. Its hardly going to be a slouch now is it?

An ultima GTR can do it in 1:12.8 and thats built in somebodys shed.
1:10 doesn't seem that fast for what is an out and out race car with a formula 1 driver using his own car when compared to that.

just found this on another forum
I know some one who knows who 1 of the 3 stigs is! Yep thats right - they use 3 of them!
The chap I know did tell me but i forgot his name - he only knows as he took his TVR - Mr Orange (the one used in the first series) along with Mr Blue - to a TVR mechanics team, and their official driver walked in, noticed the car and was on about how he had drove its partner Mr Blue whilst clarkson was in this one - cutting a long story short the only time it had been driven by Clarkson was on the show as my mate bought it from them. As the conversation went on - he explained that they use 3 different drivers depending on location and the car!
