Autoblog brings us this wonderful video clip of German TV host Barbara Schöneberger being driven around a track by rally ace Walter Röhrl in a new-model turbocharged Audi S3. Watch the expressions on her face.
It’s priceless!

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Heh! This reminded me of a groupie that went with us on a trial of a rally timed track in Europe, back in the 70s. At the end, she had half the seat cover in her hands. Don't ask me how she managed to do it!

I thought what was priceless were the facial expressions of the driver compared to the TV host who, to me, seemed to be faking her reactions and not doing a very convincing job of it.
At 1:16 she says she's not going to scream, and that she trusts him completely. Ha. 🙂

Peter, have you seen this vid of F1 driver Riccardo Patrese taking his wife for a spin around a track? It's hilarious.

+1!
The Patrese one is a classic!

I wish I spoke German, but that's hilarious. She seems to have spent most of the time afraid to look forward.
Walter showed a stone face the whole time he was at speed. Seems like concentrating on what you're doing is more important than looking good doing it.
I would love to see a split screen version with a camera facing forward to the road.

Not all German drivers are stoic and stodgy on the track.. 😉
