The episodes of Top Gear she was on were a few of the very best ones ever. "I do that time in a van!" :)

And was passing sports cars in that van.

Plus: It's a van with the steering wheel on the right (i.e. the wrong) side. Don't know how often before she drove such a vehicle, for me it would make it more difficult.

She told her secret right at the beginning: 15,000 laps. It's that easy. :) One lap of the Nürburgring is 16 miles long.
