Sabine Schmitz | Exciting Women in Fast Cars

Sabine Schmitz starts out as the li'l blondie girl but take a ride with her.




Good-looking woman with formidable skills.  Definitely dangerous.

I didn't know anything about her but discovered she is part of the "Top Gear" program from BBC so there's an excellent reason to watch.  (WIKI:  Sabine Schmitz)

And she nailed Jeremy Clarkson.

In December 2004, Schmitz gained further recognition in the United Kingdom after appearing in the BBC television show Top Gear with presenter Jeremy Clarkson.  After Clarkson (under her tutelage) set a lap time of 9 minutes 59 seconds around the Nürburgring in a Jaguar S-Type diesel (Season 5, Episode 5), she castigated his best lap with the comment "I tell you something, I do that lap time in a van."

She did a lap in the Jaguar S-Type, and set a time of 9 minutes 12 seconds, beating him by 47 seconds.  When trying to film Schmitz as she drove the S-Type, the film team were unable to keep up, therefore utilising Jaguar test driver Wolfgang Schubauer to drive the Jaguar S-Type R chase car. Schmitz drove a Ford Transit diesel van in an attempt to beat Clarkson's time set in the Jaguar S-Type diesel.  Her final time with the Transit was 10 minutes and 8 seconds (Series 6, Episode 7).

Here's another set and with a whole lot of traffic on the track now.



Definite wild woman.
