    I've done a Touristfahrten in '08 in a 120 HP Suzuki Ignis (granted, properly track-prepped with stripped interior, cage, R-compound tires, proper track-grade diff that you would never run on the street) and, while I'm no 'ring expert, I'm a pretty good driver with some karting and HPDE experience from the united states. I had no problem passing all sorts of "fast cars". Lots of people running the 'ring are not lapping it particularly quickly.
    That said, I got completely owned by the Ring taxi, so Sabine herself may have passed ME! (or it was one of the other ring taxi drivers)

Her Name was honoured on several cars, but Manthey racing with their Porsche GT3 has won, so in the end the win was for Sabine as well. Loved when the camera zoomed in on the winners car and her name was shown. Nice gesture in my opinion

    sabine`s death skill of a monster smile of an angel hit just as hard as when Danish driver died in a high-speed crash at the famous Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race Simonsen

    This is sublime. All she did as pass. The only guy that re-passed her (#53) she re-passed and them left him in the weeds. Bloody hell what a clip !
