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.

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

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.
