For some reason my favourite was always watching Sabine Schmitz trying to drive a transit van in under ten minutes. Part two is the one to watch: ▶ this video
If you havent watched her take a van around the ring in a smidge over 10 minutes it is worth a watch. [1] [1] ▶ this video
Here's Sabine Schmitz falling to break 10 mins in a van ▶ this video Although with a slightly quicker van maybe.
> mario Andretti If you're a world champion, you would probably enjoy an exercise like this. This lady pilot sure did: ▶ this video
