GT5 Reality Check

Unless you have the cash to match your desire to be driven around the Nordschleife by Sabine Schmitz, there's always Gran Turismo 5. From Kotaku:

Breakfast Granola for 12/8/10

We've been around the Nürburgring with Sabine Schmitz, but that was with a guy in the dummy seat. This time, it's a girl-girl ride with Juliet McGuire around Zwartkops in a BMW M3 Frozen Edition. From Jalopnik:

Breakfast Granola for 11/2/10

Suggestion for FMD Crankmonkey on his upcoming European sojourn: Meet Sabine Schmitz and do this.



Found on Jalopnik.

Breakfast Granola for 9/30/10

Here's a bundle of awesome to start the day. First, this is a Porsche GT3 (Jalopnik claims it's someone's 911, but Ringtaxi runs a 997), so if you can get over the poor sound, its engine is awesome to hear. Second, it's being driven by Sabine Schmitz, pretty German pilot for Ringtaxi (and why I think it might be a 997). Third and last, she's driving on Nürburgring Nordschleife, and manages a hairy fishtail into just some flatspots on the tires at the Pflantzgarten section, which has elevation changes that probably contributed to the control problems. Wait for it: 8:30...
