Thats insane, all smiles until he crashes it one day!! which im sure he will. Fair play to the bloke.

Thoroughly enjoyed that video , as the poster said not the smoothest but certaintly using it for it intended purpose!.
Also did you see the smile on the driver's face i'm guessing he was having lots of fun too!

p.s. Drifting an Enzo one handed

There's another clip of the same dude driving an FXX around the same track, equally as daft and if I remember rightly, he had a bit of a moment in the FXX.

Brilliant, awesome one handed drift. Would be nice to see from outside the car...

[Lost soul]

Stupid question but could that have been Alonso ?

Love the way he makes the Porkers look like they're doing 30!

Enjoyed that - sure lets it fly.

The groan from the passenger (possibly the owner?) at the end - is that pleasure, relief, or the start of a vom?

Aye, that's the one.

Entertaining, to say the least

Thats because they are

Would I be right to think that his tyres had gone by the last bend, hence the utterly insane final corner?

It's no mean feat, but with just a bit of restraint I think he could have been quicker, and had longer on the track.

eh? quicker... but longer on track? surely they are contradicting statements?

I could hardly watch that FXX clip. The driver was showing it more respect than the Enzo but you get the impression the FXX was toying with him. You can see why Ferrari don't let people out on the public roads with them, the A&E wards around Monaco would be stuffed full. The bit where the wheel is wrenched out of his hands is particularly sobering.

Massive respect for driving such an expensive car like he's just stolen it!

[i remember]

Gimmie an R....

Not at all.
When the tyres are spinning, you're wasting a finite grip resource.
Grip is directly related to speed - The more you have, the faster you can be.

more like 5 bit's of moments! unbelievable!.
From the 1st video i'd say he was pushing his limits however in this video i think he was being a "bit" reckless.

OT I thought ferrari chose the tracks and when you could use your FXX how come there are porsches doing laps too?, i would have thought ferrari would have had the track closed off to FXX users only?
