Women's Track Day at Nürburgring race track

Cool videos! But much of her passing those other cars was obviously a case of her having a much faster race car. I used to road race motorcycles and coming out of a corner onto the straight away, when you're at full throttle, that's when you find out who has the fastest machine!
 
I've driven/ridden both around there....cars are much faster around the 'ring than bikes. Too many corners (where bikes lose out due to tyre contact...or lack of it) and no run off on most of them. When they allowed bikes so run the ring with no other vehicles (not allowed now ...bikes can only go around with the tourists in road cars) the bike lap record on a street legal superbike was 7.49...which will probably never be beaten now...a stock Porsche GT3 can get round in 7min 32. Same at elite level racing...Formula 1 cars are miles quicker than GP bikes around the same track...even with the bikes much better power to weight ratio. Bigger tyres, more downforce and better driver aids . Only time bikes are quicker on a track is on a straight line. On the road?...whole different story!
