Anything posted repeatedly by people believing they're the first qualifies as a SIAL, as when this pic surfaced it generated dozens of new threads every day for months. Similar to the STi ATV.

My mate has posted a video of him chasing her in his Z4M.... Also hindered by bikes, but a great watch.

It's a video from about 10 years ago.

Car is an early GT3 with a Swedish guy called Ander driving.

She wasn't right on the edge - it was a demo lap for Anders in the full knowledge that it was being filmed and his camera, although she does hang the tail out for the punters as well (so to speak)

I thought it was rather tame as well.
I did LOL when they caught that biker that was leaning off the side and trying to get his knee down, with the bike still upright ......

She tends to do that quite alot, for the passengers entertainment. She went even more bat-**** crazy when I went round in the taxi and she was sitting with her head turned to us, chatting away, for most of it as well!

Looks like a cruise to me (by Sabine's standard - not mine!!). Car looks like a Mk I 996 GT3.

Who is the passenger - doesn't seem to have any experience of performance cars - oooh this is so fast; ooooh the brakes are phenomenal.

The GT3 is nowhere near it's limit - from watching the steering I would say it is being driven at 8 tenths. He is a good driver, but a GT3 at the limit the driver would be making little adjustments as he pushed the power in early on the corners and the car would start to move around. No traction control other than the drivers brain!

Nope, it was purely a demo lap. Wide on one corner ( out of how many) when you're messing about hardly counts.

Sit in with her and she'll do that pretty much every lap - ask her to go quick and it's a very different story. She has won the VLN 24 hr Ring race twice and has numerous other race victories under her belt

She was also allowing Anders to keep up, despite the porker being a better weapon for the track; a professional driver in a not so ideal car can easily make a good driver in a good car look silly if they want to.
