Shared in threads about the Nurburgring and after Schmitz's death as a charming showcase of her skill.
In Top Gear's second part, racing driver Sabine Schmitz tries to lap the Nurburgring in a Ford Transit van in under ten minutes. She finishes just over the mark.
“If you havent watched her take a van around the ring in a smidge over 10 minutes it is worth a watch.” (HN, 2021)
For some reason my favourite was always watching Sabine Schmitz trying to drive a transit van in under ten minutes. Part two is the one to watch: [this video]
