Didn't the yellow one get damaged at a track event? I think there was only one yellow one, but i'm not 100% sure.

Yes.


Nürburgring 2 September 2006...

Phil Bachman's yellow FXX. From what I understand a brief rain shower caused some tricky driving and the yellow FXX was crashed at high speeds.

Driver is ok and the FXX is to be fixed for the next event. (all according to the owners son who posted about this on the Ferrari forums)

Other FXXs have cracked a few CF corners too at this/other events but this is the worst to date.

Wait a minute. Don't those cars have TC? Isn't TC supposed to save everyone from getting in accidents?

Yes, ownership comes with unbelievable track sessions with "THE team." The FXX program is a testbed for the next supercar based on an evolution of the Enzo.

Ownership makes you a "Client Test Driver" for Ferrari. This means you are part of the "team" and not just paying for services. To be a part of this "elite" group you must be selected by a committee.

here is a registry...

A little 1500g sandpaper, a bucket of soap, and random orbiter with some Mothers will fix it right up.

Just those added body peices on the front would make the normal Enzo look TONS better. Wish they would have built them all that way.
