Sabine Schmitz wild card WTCC drive at the Nordschleife
Discussion
That'll be interesting.
"The famous television personality, dubbed the 'Queen of the 'Ring', is an expert around the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife track, having grown up around the circuit and run a high-speed 'taxi' service around the circuit. The 45-year-old will contest the fourth round of the WTCC 2015 season in two races held around the 25km circuit on the 16-17 May. "

She's scored wins and podiums at the 'ring in BMWs and Porsches. I think she could upset some WTCC regulars. Not sure she'll trouble the podium though. Top eight I reckon.
Definitely behind the Citroens and mixing it with the Hondas I think, based on the performance of the Cruze this year.tux said:
Anyone know if she will be testing next week as part of the official test?
sounds like it (end of penultimate paragraph) - http://www.fiawtcc.com/queen-of-the-ring-schmitz-t...She was 13th on the first day of testing, not bad considering her inexperience with the car.

"Of course, Sabine is the regular we’re all hoping could upset the result. As a one-off entry, she’s competing in this Chevy Cruze. Sadly, it only completed a few laps before being sidelined by an unknown issue."
