The one with Sabine does the Nurburgring in a van

Series 6, Episode 7 (2005)

Sabine Schmitt tries to beat Jezza’s Jaguar Nurburgring lap time in a Transit van, James takes on a marathon runner in a Fiat Panda, and we discover a TVR that won’t try to kill you.

TestsJeremy drives the TVR Sagaris (series 6, episode 7)

Bit of a shock to find a TVR that doesn’t scare the living shit out of you, but JC still finds there’s much fun to be had in a 180mph car with no airbags, no traction control and no ABS.
