Have you seen the Top Gear episode where the same woman drives a diesel Ford transit van around in about 10 mins?

Now that was impressive. She was following a Dodge Viper to give her some clean air. She passed all sorts of cars and sportsbikes.

All the best

Actually, Now that I think about it, IIRC the first time she was on the show was a piece about her day job, which was as a sort of taxi driver around the 'ring. She would drive you round in her car, which I think was an e34 M5, but I could be wrong about that, it was a long time ago. :)

All the best

This is the record holder:

Note these highlights:

- 50mph to 100mph = 4 seconds
- 70mph to 150mph = 12 seconds
- 2.10 Lateral G at 122mph through the Schwedenkreuz corner
- 147mph into Klostertal 1 corner
- 160mph taken through the Schwedenkreuz corner
- Braking forces of over 1.7 G into Bergwerg

Can you imagine doing that for 90 minutes straight, as they used to do in F1? The cornering speeds are what really gets me. I can't even think that fast, let alone drive that fast. Awesome.

which episode did she drive the van? i downloaded 2 seasons from the BBC and have been watching all of the episodes on disco chan. i love that show.....and the best part is they are so biased towards british cars, but atleast they let you know that heh.

[Jay 535i]

I liked it when they proved that a NOS-equipped 1.3 MkIII Golf diesel will out-drag an NSX. :)

[Alexlind123]

i Would also like the van episode, which one was it?

[BobHarris]

I don't remember, it was a little while ago. Don't forget i'm talking about the UK version of the show.

All the best

the record is 6:11.130, driven by Stefan Bellof, 1983 in a Porsche 956.

btw., the girl who drove the Ford Van in ~10mins is Sabine Schmitz, she drives the E60 M5 Ringtaxi: http://www.sabine-schmitz-motorsport.de

my record time is ~11mins, excluding the GP-Course :(
