Fastest Taxi Driver


Syd

Recommended Posts

My 'initiation' at the 'Ring was as a passenger in a Jaguar XKR 5.0 litre Supercharged pushing out 560 BHP with Wolfgang Schuhbauer driving!

We clocked a first ever lap in the car of less than 9 minutes which was (Very) fast!

Here's a clip of him driving an earlier version of the car I was in

. This one was only a 4.2 litre!

I've since been around the 'Riing probably 30 or 40 times but only ever as a passenger, I've yet to drive it myself.

We had a really scary experience 3 years ago in India. I thought to myself this guy must slow down when we get to built up areas, with lots of people around......Not a bit of it! he was the most terrifying driver we have ever had *-)

That's the same lassy that took Hamster round the 'ring in a transit and scared bikers when she overtook them. Don't think they got the tranny round in less than ten minutes but it was close.

Now you've set me (and Roxie) a challenge for our next visit to Germany Dave! But to make it fair I need a poassenger the size of Richard Hammond. Any takers?

10.23 the first lap, 10.08 was her best.

 

But........we are talking of a Ford Transit DIESEL here!! Now THATS what I call a REAL WOMAN!! :-D Doubt any men could achieve that.
