No, was some German racing driver called Jocham Schmit (sp?) who I believe is now her husband.... .

Was very good for the ego when one of the passengers that were in the 'Ring Taxi came over and said how impressed Jocham was with both the car and driving .

I only wish I had the full monte so I could have blitzed him on the faster bits, but I could only run that amount of boost due to the ignition leads having dropped down under the oil breather exit pipe, which covered them in oil, which meant they were arcing out on anything higher .

Mind you, this meant that we were fairly equal power to weight (as I couldn't make any in-roads on him on the fast sections, but he couldn't pull away either). However, where I would be up his chuff was in all the braking areas and out of the corners, but he was determined not to let me past . I eventually forced my way through at Adenau Forst, while he was show-boating for the spectators . Didn't see sight nor sound of him after that...
