Great to see that Ferrari built a true race car with the Scuderia that's noticeably faster than a stock F430.
I can't say the same for the Gallardo Superleggara; as beautiful as the car and its numbers are, they are only tenths of a second faster than the stock Gallardo, at least according to the Car and Driver I read.
The Scuderia's performance seems to be fantastic, not to mention the looks. Thanks for the video, Toby.
I would caution drawing too much comparison between his identical track times. The Enzo would destroy the Scuderia if driven by a professional. That's not to say that the Scuderia isn't the better performer in the hands of the standard hack. Just my 2 pennies.
That's also the first one I'd seen in a color other than rosso. What's the deal there? Aren't they all going to be red?

I'd say Tiff qualifies as a professional
Needell first raced at a driving school at Brands Hatch in 1970. He progressed to Formula Ford , his progress assisted by the use of a Lotus 69 FF he won in an Autosport magazine competition. The remainder of the 1970s saw Needell as a front runner in the British Formula 3 series and then in the Aurora British Formula One championship. In 1979 he was unable to graduate to the F1 World Championship due to the lack of the correct licence, but he was back in 1980, driving two Grands Prix for Ensign, qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder. However, he had an engine problem and did not finish the race. He subsequently failed to qualify for the Monaco Grand Prix.
After this came sports cars with a Porsche 962 (LM) from 1989 to 1992. His best result in sports cars was 3rd at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1990 with Derek Bell. He then had a couple of years in the British Touring Car Championship with Nissan, before returning to sports cars in 1995, driving a Porsche at Daytona and a Jaguar XJ220 at Le Mans. He then drove the Lister Storm for 3 years, reaching 3rd overall at Daytona in 1997 before gearbox problems dropped them to 19th. In 1998 he finished 2nd in the GT1 championship and won the Silverstone Golden Jubilee Trophy race.
Since then, Needell's racing career has mainly consisted of racing tin-tops (hard-topped cars), with varying levels of success in sports cars, historic racing and touring cars. He achieved particular notoriety after an accident with Nigel Mansell at the 1993 TOCA shoot out race at Donington Park.
