Perhaps Porsche were testing their next (48 seater) product?

PMSL at Good effort.

Sabine has won the 24hr race at the ring twice, the woman is seriously talented. It's normal to find a coach on the ring as it's a big tourist atraction. Deadly, but common.

I have heard a little about Sabine and my comment was half tongue-in-cheek but it didn't look like she was giving those bikers much room for error!

For someone with so much experience she wasnt exactly driving very professionally. She could have easily taken one of those bikers out. What is the Beemer BTW?

I presume you are upset at the bit where she went between the bike and the car ?

Well she wouldn't have done it if she wasn't sure he had seen her. The bike was obscured by the M5 for a while, he probably waved her through then.

Don't be so judgemenetal about stuff you obviously know nothing about.........what is the Beemer , FFS !

DocJock - relax and take a chill pill. Anyone would have thought I'd cracked a joke about your mum

Unless you were on track at the same time, you make one hell of a presumption. There was more than one occasion where she was rather too close to those bikers for comfort. The comments from the Porsche driver and passenger back this up.

As to the beemer. I know its an M5 but thought it may have some additional work done to it for the track.

"she" is Sabine who is employed to take passengers around the Nurburgring every day, in the "Ring Taxi" a pretty much standard M5.

She throws gravel up on every lap at that point, she did not nearly loose it, in fact she has never crashed the ring taxi.

From looking at that clip I would say she is a damn fine driver. You can tell that she knows the ring like the back of her hand.

Here is another clip I found. This time a black Porsche (993 I think) chasing the taxi. Just watch as these two battle it out only to have a Silver Porsche cruise past them both half way through. Think its maybe a GT2 but its a bad quality clip and u dont see much of the Porsche as its flies past approaching warp speed.

4th clip up from the bottom - Ring Taxi Part 2
