Has this been posed before? Great shots from the Ring. Someone was actually trying to do this when I was there but in a white Ford Transit van. It might have had GB plates on it as well. Was watching where I was going. Anyhow it is a great video to see the better parts of the Ring. James

Glad I run a 9min 36sec and better on the Ring that would suck to have been beaten by that van.

She has 14,000 to 15,000 laps, I hope I can complete 10% of that.

Was watching some of the one last night. Loved the bit on which was faster: Changing the entire running gear on a WRC Focus, or girls getting ready for the night out.

I watched that last night too. Only so funny cause it's so accurate. I think I could do a full oil change (not some 10 min thing) sometimes before the girlie gets ready.

You guys watching the UK vid or did this actually air on the Discovery version?

I saw it from the torrent a week or so ago, just weird seeing so many people pop up saying they saw it last night which is normal Discovery Top Gear night....

It was on TV. (the WRC vs women one)
WRC vs. Women???

Wow if the Sabine in the Van clip has aired on Discovery then thats great! They're actually starting to air recent clips because that only just aired on Top Gear UK i think 2 weeks ago.

Now if they would finally start putting the show on Discovery HD!

No, I meant the changing of a WRC Focus vs the changing of women.

that chick in the vid is sabine schimitz. "She's an ex-professional race driver who now drives 1100 to 1200 laps every year in the Ring Taxi (BMW M5)"
She still races cars currently and she is a very good drifter as well.

Wow, that woman is hott! I love how she's cursing at the cars slowing her down. In a VAN even. I <3 teh women racers.

There has been some talk of her taking over Jeremy C's spot next season as he is going to be out for a while with a back injury.
I thought about this. At first I didn't think she could/would be able to pull it off. Jeremy has a pretty crazy personality. Then again I realized, anyone that has the balls to drive like that at the ring in the van has to be even crazier! Anyway, I like her. I hope she has good things coming her way in the future, whether it be in Top Gear or else where.
