Yes it’s 100% in German but this will be the best 10 minutes of racing you will see all weekend. The video features Sabine Schmitz driving a new stock R56 MINI versus a race prepped Honda VTEC equipped classic Mini around the Nurburgring. The winner then takes on a late model Carrera S (also driven by the famous ‘Ring taxi driver). Did MINI USA have it wrong when they challenged Porsche this summer? Did they just bring the wrong MINI?

Ha.... The guy won because he wasn't talking. And hey, what was that first german word she yelled????
I do love that video as i have seen it before. Really makes me want to build a Honda powered classic Mini estate. Especilly now that you can do it with the CRV 4 wheel drive set up. It does pretty well concidering even a high end build (which that Mini was not) would still run a quarter of the cost of the Carrera.
I really enjoyed this nice little background piece on Sabine. Maybe we'll get to see more of her on future TG broadcasts (for that matter, she'd make a great Stig)... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tG3Tx1e704]YouTube - BMW unscripted. Sabine Schmitz.[/ame]
