so i've mentioned my fav British TV show - Top Gear... well i just watched an episode from 3 years ago and there was a bet or rather - there was a challenge involving the Nurburgring and a van.
The challenge was put out there by a woman racecar driver who'd taught one of the chaps how to drive around and beat a 10 min time, the track is 12 miles long with 16 bends. Her first lap around the track woman drives a Ford Transit van the 12 miles in 10.28... it was thrilling to watch this VAN drive around the track at amazing speeds. it was just as amazing to watch her pass several amazing cars and just as amazing to see her pass a couple of motorcycles.
The Nurburgring is an open track. It was an open track day and she flew in the van. Her second lap time, she flowed a viper and pulled everything out of the van and did it in 10.08!
sometimes one is just amazed about what one can do with a van and a bit of track!!
