Well...
A little google searching revealed a few things. First, Perry McCarthy is NOT the current Stig. Per Wikipedia, McCarthy revealed his identity in his autobiography and was booted from Top Gear after two seasons (he was the black Stig). The current Stig is apparently some race driver who never quite made it to F1 racing...name not revealed. Another source says Top Gear has 8 different drivers who play the Stig. Thus, the Ferrari FXX's top time on the list is absolute bull****. Schumacher drove his own black FXX for the show...it's not a big surprise that one of the best F1 drivers of all time would set the fastest lap. He essentially beat the best time of a schmuck Stig who never made it to F1 racing. Schumacher in the Gumpert may post an even faster lap than the FXX. Blah!
