This is a clip from Jeremy Clarkson’s Supercar Showdown, where the Stig, driving a 997 GT3, is pitted against Sabine Schmitz, behind the wheel of Audi’s R8. Schmitz is know for driving the  M5 "ring taxi" around Germany’s famed Nürburgring track, and in this segment, she makes the Top Gear ace earn his money. Unlike most of battles showcased on the TV show, the two drivers actually race each other—not just the clock—and the result is beyond awesome. Enjoy.
