I did the Ring Taxi with Sabine in the new M5 last year. Well worth the 185 euro per lap with three passengers. She will get your heart pumping.

That GT2 is Edo Competition tuned.

It could be this specific car.

Amazing. I love Sabine. Only thing I understood was "photo finish."

12 - the porsche had a sequential tranny.

It definitely had a sequential gearbox, that's why the shifter kept going back to a neutral position after every shift, watch the video again, you'll see what I mean.

Wow, that Caterham left the "tuned" GT2 like it was standing still @ the start.

Gt2

Seemed like Sabine was playing with the Caterham and had the power advantage once up to speed. Obviously, the Caterham had the edge in the corners. Power to weight for both vehicles should have been close since the Gt2 was said to have 550hp. Sabine didn't like the sequential box according to her commentary. The photo finish with the GT2 edging ahead at the end did appear staged.

Completely staged. The gearbox is not a proper straight teeth sequential gearbox, its the OEM fitted with one of this Cartronic "thingies":
