allcaps!

 

[PricklyPete]

clearly that wasn't the AWD model...otherwise the Nürburgring would have been dominated.

 

[xBiffx]

What a flippin idiot.

 

[manimal]

manifold pressure got too high from nos


told him not to pour the NOS can into the tank. GD energy drinks....

 

[rsutoratosu]

its obvious its not made for racing

 

[Arkaign]

Well that hottish German racer chick dominated the Ring in a freaking highrise box delivery van, but I srsly doubt this joker in the CRV had 1/1000th her skill level.

Glad they're apparently okay. It amazes me how often people fail to grasp relatively simple concepts like fundamental and basic laws of physics, and that SUVs shouldn't (generally) be driven by hoons unless it's something appropriate like a Cayenne or SRT8 Cherokee.

Sabine rules...in a VAN!

I'm amazed the track officials allowed them on to begin with.

I want to marry Sabine. PricklyPete, arrange a marriage for Sabine and I.
Be a pal, hook me up.

They let anyone on who pays and meets a minimal safety standard. Did you see the Top Gear where they let that female professional driver drive a delivery van on there? Funniest part was she was passing six figure sports cars left and right.

Haha...as my wife is well aware, we will certainly be spending some time in and around the 'Ring. Before I ever plan on driving it myself (with likely a rental), I want to setup a ride around the ring with the Ring Taxi...and I'm REALLY hoping Sabine is our driver. I actually trust her oddly...because she is on TV, and you know you can trust anyone on TV. If that all comes together, I will make sure to put a good word in for you.

Pro driver on a TV show is one thing (haven't seen that episode, definitely want to though), but some random person in an SUV on an open track day is just bad news.

I agree, but they also let Richard (I think) do the same thing. Definitely not a pro.

Edit: Check it out.

Anybody notice the Ford Raptor?

Yep, even the right color too.

 

[Throckmorton]

I'm surprised how the car just disintegrated. I would have thought a CRV would be more crashworthy

It stayed in one piece to me it seems. It just had a lot of junk in the trunk.

Hi everybody. I'm from switzerland, and can speak perfect german and swiss german. I have read some entrys at YouTube from this clip. The driver want really drift with this car! The co-driver has claims before the accident that she and the driver try to drift. 2 houres before has a Porsche lost oils, and the roadway was cleaned.

You can request for her, but, good luck with that.

They pay me for that.
But it's a good job.
