Have to agree with Frayz, I don't think that was Sabine, and if it was, she was on a cooling down lap

To hold the 'ring' record, she must be able to drive Frayz

What 'ring' record is that Nate?

She is a great driver, but there are lots of people quicker than the Ring Taxi that go round there.

Was an impresive piece of driving no matter who it was in the BMW!

There was a close call about 2 and half mins into it where the Scoob nearly stoved it into the barriers!

Bet he **** him self!........... I know i would have!

Mind you i would have probabaly been doing half that speed!

It is more about the driver there though.

If I was driving the Pagani Zonda and Sabine was in a Golf GTi - she would win.

If i made it round at all

There does come a time where you are held back by the car, but at the moment I know that my car now could do a minute (at least) quicker than I could pedal it round. The gap closes between potential and reality each time you are there but will never be the same IMO.

The new V8 M3's were there testing when I was last there and they were very quick so I am sure the M5 would be awesome too in the right hands.
