Michael Schumacher returned at the wheel of his personal Ferrari FXX, to drive his friend Zinedine Zidane around the Magny Cours circuit. The money raised from the event will be used for charity purposes.
Schumi drives his Ferrari around Magny Cours:
The FXX is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello and its mission is to involve Ferrari’s most valued Clients as genuine Prancing Horse Test Drivers in their own right.
The FXX has not been homologated for road use and thus will not be a competition model. It will be used exclusively on the track as part of a specific ongoing research and development programme featuring this first ever group of Client Test Drivers.The FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 bhp at 8,500 rpm. Its gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 strategies, delivering gear change times of under 100 ms. This is almost as fast as the F1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.
Not sure its for everybody, especially at the £1.1M price tag.
