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.

They'll have been expecting emails about it and would have it written in to next weeks show well in advance.

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!
