Fun video, especially if you know the ring
The Cup car is being driven by a female.... not just any female.... Sabine Schmitz.... 'Ring taxi driver.

The pass on the outside of the carrousel is my favorite (at 6:38 mark)

You know what's strange, the Viper ran out of gears on the long straight (9:10 mark)!! It definitely sounds like he bumps up against the rev limiter allowing her to pass him back!

I laughed when I saw the outside pass on the Carousel and was really surprised the Viper got passed back on the straight. I was amazed how far ahead Sabine got ahead in the traffic. Great video Peter, Thanks. :burnout:

Great video!! I like the carrousel pass as well. Looks like the Viper has the hp edge unless the straight is too long. :shock:

Wow, some outstanding driving esp in traffic. Sabine is an awesome driver but gives up no room for the viper.

See the initial pass on the first right turn at 1:00 Viper gives lots of room and she takes it all and more and slides across the entire track to the apron. At the 4:50 mark not sure if the viper sees trouble and brakes early or Sabine just outbrakes him.

At the end I think the viper lifed a touch going around the car on the right and immediately got repassed.
