German kickboxing champion Marie Lang enthusiastic after her ride in the race taxi

The German Champion in kickboxing and full contact karate, Marie Lang, was enthusiastic after her ride in the race taxi at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. “That was a fantastic experience”, the 22 years old sportswoman said happily after having completed one lap beside Dominik Thiemann (Lemgo) in the BMW M3. “The speed, but in particular also the forces which are applied when braking and in the turns, is very impressive.” Following her lap at the Nordschleife, Lang visited the starting grid and kept her fingers crossed at the pits for the team around Thiemann. “The starting grid just before the race start was very exciting. Afterwards, I was quite surprised to see how close you are to the action in this endurance racing championship.” After having collected her first experiences she even drew a parallel between boxing and motor sport. “In both sports, you must be highly concentrated and show reactions as quick as a flash”, she said.
