If you've ever been to the Nürburgring, you must have seen
Sabine Schmitz.
She's an ex-professional race driver who now drives 1100 to 1200 laps
every year in the Ring Taxi and runs a famous (infamous?)
establishment in Nürburg
(the Fuchsröhre).
According to various interviews, she was 6 months old when she first
drove the Ring (albeit in the back seat of her father's car). She did
her first lap behind the wheel when she was 17, without a driver's
license in her mother's car. Of course, mother didn't know what Sabine
was up to :-)
When she was 19, she set the lap record in a Ford Sierra Cosworth
(8'16").
If you want to know more about her, there's an interview that was
broadcast on DSF
on this site.
For those who want to know what a lap in the Ring Taxi feels like:
there's a video
right here.
