Watch Sabine Schmitz Destroy The Nürburgring While Narrating The Entire Thing
Watch Sabine Schmitz Destroy The Nürburgring While Narrating The Entire Thing-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:33

Many of us know Sabine Schmitz as the , and she does nothing but back that name up each time she hops in a car. For that reason, it’s not much of a surprise when she tears up the track known for in a Porsche 991 GT3—but boy, is it fun to watch.

Among the things we learn during Schmitz’s spin around the track is that “you need a good bra in the carousel” and that strangely edited rap music probably isn’t the best mix when showing in-car footage on the Nürburgring. All things considered, Schmitz is fun to watch. The video is from September of 2015, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable or impressive:

This particular video reminds me a lot of in a Ferrari F12erlinetta at a local track in Austin. It’s a given that top drivers can be comfortable making laps while also managing to continually talk through them, but the ease of conversation and narration is something that can make a person really appreciate how much skill a driver has.

On top of that, it’s a good preview of what Schmitz will hopefully be like on the new Top Gear. The show looks promising despite all of its struggles so far, with its than most of us likely could have expected from the reports surrounding it.

And if Schmitz gets her fair share of air time behind the wheel on the show, it looks like we’ll have even more to look forward to.

François Cevert, Watkins Glen, And The Myths Of Dead Heroes
Watkins Glen International existed in my imagination long before I ever saw it in person, so tangible that I could transport myself there just by closing my eyes. It had that faint sepia tinge in my brain, like it was perpetually golden hour in upstate New York, because of...
