Sabine Schmitz video driving her GT3 RS at Nordschleife
Last weekend the Gentleman Drivers Club went to the Nürburgring for a Private Day on the Nordschleife - stayed at Lindner and had a great few days away. Fellow Teamspeeder Rost12 came along in his GT3...
We had convoy training in the morning and free-lapping all afternoon. Pinnacle for most was high-speed laps with Sabine Schmitz in her GT3 RS. Awesome. On my lap with her, she had a bit of a moment. At around 150mph. Very scary, but she was equal to the task and managed to save it - needless to say the video doesn't quite do it justice. When we showed the video to our instructors that evening over dinner, they said it was a 'write-off moment' that she did fabulously well to save. She's a legend.
Enjoy the video...

...and a few pics (the red 996 GT3 was not one of our guys thankfully).

A few more shots...
The 599 GTO was fabulous. The GT2 RS was mighty. Already planning another trip for next year... Anyone wanna come?

Great shots and nice little write up! You must have had so much fun during the event! I watches the clip and she was really flying during that lap. Looked like the others only ran in second gear or something 
Those corners at 8:30 must have been some really intense ones. She made a great save!

The reason she lost it, apparently, was because she took a 'slick' line/speed but we had road tyres.

Rost is on here too ? 
Cool, ask him how his head was the other week after a night out in the Lindner ?
Really nice bloke, we all had a ball out there.
