Lol, 11 minutes is the record for a Zero emission car? C'mon man. Another reason why going green is boring. *looks at Focus RS*

Not boring for the Telsa or Lightning GT though.

Let's race it with other contestants then scream "I WON!" I think I will go run around a running track with no one else, report my numbers, then proclaim myself as a winner and record holder. :) Nice try Datsu...Nissan! Cheers!

considering Sabine made a lap below 10 minutes in a Transit commercial van, it's not a very good time, or is it?

If you think about it, this car does not run of any fossil fuel like petrol or diesel, so its a good time considering it runs on hydrogen

Sabine has been around the ring a gazillion times. she knows every single area like Google maps. the estimated time if an ordinary person took it would be about 11 minutes aswell. Coming to think about it, this is a fairly impressive time for a FCV. Still slow in general though.

The van was stripped and it took her like 3 tries and she admitted that it was almost about to tip over many times. Also isnt the van a V8 and being a van has a lot of torque? This car has seats and is awd and probably heavy. Also the car was tested on this track mainly to do heavy testing to check durability. The time is just so show they r the first to test on the Ring.
