Sabine Schmitz: Porsche 962 from 1990

I'm driving a Group C sports car at the Silverstone Classic historic weekend. The car is an ex Porsche 962 Andretti car from 1990 that I share with my boyfriend Klaus. The car has great downforce on the first few sections of Silverstone but it is a challenge to get the car round the rest of the circuit. When we practiced on Friday we had totally wrong gear ratios so had to take the gear box apart to put new ratios in it.

I've only raced at Silverstone on the old circuit layout, when I was here with Nissan and their GT Academy when I did a number of taxi laps for competitors. I've not driven the new circuit since the International pit and extra sections were added, so I've a lot to learn as I've only had two run outs in the car on an airfield, which wasn't really enough to find all the gears!

Hopefully it will stay dry and we'll have some fun this weekend
