'Queen of the Nurburgring' Sabine Schmitz dies aged 51

 

 

 

I was genuinely shocked to hear this. How sad. She was a great ambassador for motorsport, quite the personality and achieved some great things.

I will always fondly remember her lap around the Nurburgring in a Transit. What an amazing driver!

Didn't even know she was battling that old dragon, cancer. Rust in peace

 

I think she was great addition as a presenter to the new(-ish now I guess) Top Gear, definitely brought a different energy to the show.

Never forget that one where she ripped around the ring in a Transit van passing bikes and things on the way

 

Found the Youtube clip, worth the watch

Even better, watching her dice up the competition with a proper scalpel

Even better was the lap in the Jag with Clarkson being told how slow he was that led to the Transit lap. She was a driver like Dick Johnson that could give an entertaining commentary even driving flat out.

She'll be missed - even by motor casuals like myself. 

 

What a driver...and to be so calm and full of personality at the same time! 

 

Sad day.

Sad news indeed. She was cool and a very talented driver. I often wondered how she would have gone in F1 and I would have loved to see her tackle Mt Panorama inn the big Aussie race. Go fast through the gates and rest easy in the eternal pit stop.




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Ended up going down a YouTube rabbit hole watching the above.  One 'suggested' video was a BMW promo about Sabine from October 2010 which today looks like a very touching obituary.
