This video is hot as hell.

Executive summary: the Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the most fearsome racetracks in the world. Many people would kill for the chance at a few laps, and some are even lucky enough to get them. One such person is one of the guys from the BBC2's show Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson. After taking lessons from a professional and practicing like a bastard, he barely manages to break a 10 minute lap. Upon announcing this accomplishment to his instructor, she (yes, she—how hot is that?) replies "ten minutes? I could do that in a van."

This woman has done about 15000 laps around the Nürburgring—now including two in a diesel-powered Ford Transit. Note that a 10 minute lap time equates to an average of 80 MPH.

The Nurburgring is boring dude.... just long staights. If you're looking for a hot track check out Hungaroraning, which is the site of the Hungarian Grand Prix... those elevation changes are sexy... or Monza for that matter.
