Rest in Peace Sabbie.

BMWGUYinCO · 03-17-2021, 10:41 AM

Oh man, I had just wondered about her health in another thread. RIP to such a bright and warm person. Talk about women I admire....

SteveinArizona · 03-17-2021, 11:11 AM

Truly sad. I so enjoyed watching her.

Red Bread · 03-17-2021, 11:43 AM

RIP Sabine.

Artemis · 03-17-2021, 11:59 AM

No ! So sorry to hear. She was such a genuinely kind person.

stealth70mde · 03-17-2021, 12:06 PM

Very sad.

Esteban · 03-17-2021, 12:08 PM

First saw her on Top Gear many years ago. Was a great driver and a wonderful person. R.I.P.

stein_325i · 03-17-2021, 12:33 PM

RIP to a legend. Queen of the Nürburgring.

Canuck335 · 03-17-2021, 01:07 PM

Shocked and saddened.
She was absolutely brilliant on Top Gear.
“I can do that in a van!” And then she did it. Totally awesome.

celsdogg · 03-17-2021, 01:18 PM

my wife told me this news a little while ago and i was absolutely floored.

RIP to the Queen of the 'ring.

Drew10 · 03-17-2021, 01:19 PM

Very shocking indeed. So sad.

erickonphoenix · 03-17-2021, 01:22 PM

Just gutted to read this. She was a pleasure to watch on Top Gear back in the day. 51 is way to young.

Buug959 · 03-17-2021, 04:03 PM

For anyone that might be interested there is a petition on Change.org to have a section of the Nurburgring named in Sabine's honour. I'll leave a link here and we'll see if the moderators approve.

Terrible news. RIP Sabine.

c1pher · 03-17-2021, 07:34 PM

Wow, she seemed like such a fun spirit and tomboy. And I love me some tomboys. Shame.

Artemis · 03-18-2021, 05:47 PM

A petition was started to name a corner of the Nürburgring Nordschleife after Sabine Schmitz: see here and here.

This would be a fitting tribute.
