Its true. Schumacher drove his FXX around the Top Gear circuit. The FXX is for the seriously uber rich who can afford the couple of million dollars to buy the car and never actually have it leave the Ferrari premises. They'll let you drive it from time to time at organised track days, but then you have to hand it back. I dont know about Ferrari only wanting him to drive it to get the best laptime, but Schumacher is still a Ferrari employee and was given his FXX as a gift. Clearly if they rocked up at Dunsford with a black FXX (Schumacher owns the only black FXX in existence) and had The Stig drive it, it would be a bit of a giveaway. It was a nice gimmick and Schumacher was a great sport. The Liana scene at the end was hilarious!
This season is going to be great if the first episode was any indication. The 1949 train vs car vs bike race from London to Edinburgh was pretty intense!
<edit> This doesnt actually need to be spoilered I guess. I'm not revealing the winner of the race, but that train is a magnificent piece of machinery!
