A 45-year-old German woman has won a national car parking championship, beating four men and three other women to claim the crown, it was announced on Monday.
Sabine Langer, from Düsseldorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, had to complete five different stages to earn the unofficial title of “German parking champion”, which won her a trip to see the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The tasks included squeezing a nearly nine-metre-long limousine into a parking bay, blind parking and also mastering the horizontal gear shift famously used in a Citroen 2CV, as well as parking a rickety old three-wheeler.
