    Yesterday we went in Fiorano to make some laps with journalists.
    We made 120 laps and there was also Benuzzi.

    The best lap made by a customer that owns an FXX is 1.19.4, some days ago a friend of a german customer with a red FXX made 1.18.7 but he runs with Formula 3!!!!!

    Without ASR i made 1.18.4 with a friend on board that weight 100 kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After i did some laps alone and i made 1.17.654 and DARIO BENUZZI made 1.17.770 with my car!!!!!!!!!!

    You can't understand how much happy I was.

    The best time of Benuzzi with a FXX was 1.16.5 and he knows that track as his hands so with other days in that track I could be better and yesterday I made only 20 laps.
    All the rest were made by my father, my brother and Benuzzi with journalists.

    When my best friend will give me the pictures he took I'll post them.

    Below the "telemetria" I'm the blue line and Benuzzi the red line

    Thanks so much for sharing. How does the FXX differ from the Enzo in the ways of acceleration, brakes, suspension etc. Is the handling much different? Any news on the F60? ;)

    Awesome Manuma! To run similar lap times as Benuzzi again says a lot about your driving abilities. Sounds like a lot of fun too! :)

    Thank you to everybody!!!!
    It was really really fun

    The suspension are much more hard and the Enzo is much more high.
    Acceleration is stronger much more over 5000rpm.
    Brakes are so strong that for the passenger is impossible to stay stop in the car without moving.
    We changed 3 times "pastiglie" in 120 laps and they are speaking with Brembo because the brakes are not as well as the car is power.

    It's a race car, as a MCC, for the passenger is impossible don't move the neck thanks to the g force.

    Instaed the handling is like the Enzo, very simple but the problem is that the world is not the same, it goes away three times faster so that's the only difficult thing.
    With asr is difficult not to cut power and without asr is very good thanks to slick tyres, is difficult only have control with oversteer because it slide really fast, twice of an Enzo and with these tyres you have to be carful to take control because if you turn to much it goes in the otherside

    So did you take any of the journalists out on the track? That is quite amazing on beating BENUZZI.

    Manuma, thanks so much for all the input. Its really cool talking to someone who has actually been in one and driven one (and HAS one!) instead of people just repeating what they read in magazines


    Thanks again

    3 times? Means you only get 40ish laps out of a set of pads ... those pads must grip like sandpaper!

    That's the differences btw my lap and Benuzzi's, one 1.17.654 and one 1.17.677.

    In this case i was speaking about the FXX with my car but it's my father's
