I am sorry it cut out at 7mins!? And skipped a good portion of the track

I liked the bye-bye wave just after the 11:00 mark :-)

motopix

Thank you for letting by without hassle wave.

Impressive, and she is no doubt a beast on that track; however, it appears that the car she was driving had quite a bit more power than at least half of that field.

mpath

I know that track well - that looks like me on Forza...on "easy", of course, with electronic nannies on.

TheLex

She drives like she knows the track way better than a lot of the other drivers, keeping her power on later and accelerating more quickly out of the corners. She knows her lines really really well.

Rikky001

Sabine was born there, she knows how to drive the track with her eyes closed.
She has been driving the ring taxi for years as well.

Carmichael

I would have Sabine's babies.

There's a reason she's called the queen of the Nurburgring
