    My buddy calls me last night to tell me that he is watching an episode where they are testing the Ferrari FXX - very cool in itself. Then he says that they are sitting down to talk to "The Stig", who turns out to be none other than MICHAEL SCHUMACHER?!?!?!?

    He saw the broadcast on Canadian BBC last night. I searched for the show on DirecTV and could not find the episode, nor do they show it as being available on their website.

    Did anyone else see this, or hear anything about it?

    It was a joke.

    the 'main' Stig is Ben Collins. Several manufacturers send out their own test driver (ferrari for instance normally sends either Badoer or Gene) to do the test lap.

    Schumacher really doesn't have the time to do this kind of stuff...

    As Bas Jaski said, it was a joke. A cool joke :)

    The episode originally aired in June. There was a few threads about it. How did you not see/hear about it :confused:

    Don't think top gear can afford to have Schumacher do this for them...
