Watched the clip when the link worked, and must say I am less than impressed...

Considering Frau Schmitz did her time in a fully standard Ford Transit, just ripped everything out that would go to reduce weight and come off easily and they did theirs in a fully tricked out van with 220+ bhp and just ever so slightly beat her, her time becomes all the more impressive.

Link is unavailable so I can't tell, but did this VW Van also draft behind a Viper? :rolleyes:

I don't know what happened to the link. It was fun to see a VW van with a TDI engine flying around the ring!
