Default Following Sabine round the Nurburgring..

In a Porsche 996 of some sort, shows a couple of things:

1) How slow is she in the corners!!
2) How much the bikes get in the way!

Well worth a watch! possibly one of the best 'ring videos i've seen (as in it wasn't some shaky hand held camera like most )

I was amazed at that to.... looks dangerous to be on a bike full stop round there!!

Passing the coach has to be the funniest bit.

She doesn't give them much space at all does she?!

Still not sure on her 'aggressive' cornering though, the car is thrown well off balance and she is all over the shop, the Porker is just cruising behind her and is more than keeping up!

I'm guessing she is just trying to keep the passengers happy in the Ring Taxi.

'Bridge to gantry', 'official' way of timing laps on public days (not a good idea though) as you can't do a full lap.

She's probably playing rather than going for her personal best!

I still can't believe how well that Porsche handles, it's almost like he is out on a Sunday Drive, no sliding, no oversteer but bloody impressive brakes

Now I can see why the Porkers are so fast around the ring!

got to say that the M5 is impressive, coz you gotta remeber that it is a four door saloon not a two seat 911, and how many passengers did she onboard?
awesome video though, she would be shite in actual race round another circuit she would annihalate the tyres in two or three laps coz she was throughing it in so hard
