BMW Ring Taxi - A Lap With Sabine Schmitz

Video Description

*** Update 17 March 2021 - I've just learnt through notifications on this video popping up on my phone, that Sabine has lost her years long battle with cancer. A very sad day. Rest In Peace Sabine, you will forever be known as the Queen of the Green Hell, The Worlds Fastest Taxi Driver, and many more very unique titles that were distinctly you. We will all miss your sense of humor too. I count myself very fortunate to have met Sabine, and to have had the lap this this video. You are forever immortalized in all of the amazing media showcasing your incredible talent. *** This is a lap of the "Green Hell" with Sabine Schmitz on the 5th of September 2010. It was great to have Sabine as our driver, and a huge thanks to her and BMW RingTaxi for the thrill of being driven at high speed on a track that takes many years to learn. We had so much fun, and highly recommend it to anyone going to Germany, that likes the Nurburgring, and isn't game enough to bring their own car, or hire a track day car. And we can't help but congratulate Sabine for saying the line "I tell you something, I could do that lap time in a van", which ultimately led to Jeremy Clarkson pretty much being beaten around the 'ring by Sabine in a diesel Ford Transit van. I hope to come back in a few years and do it again! Worth flying from Australia for :)
