StephenFord Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Have just learned that Sabine Schmitz, Queen of the Nürburgring, passed away at only 51 years old from cancer. Such a tragic loss, yet will evoke fond memories from many following her numerous appearances on Top Gear. RIP queen... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim H Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Murray was 97 so had a good life. But 51 is far too young to go. She has driven her final lap, but sadly lost the race to Cancer. I understand this coming weeks Top Gear will be dedicated to her, possibly show highlights. RIP Sabine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it really? Still pretty exotic to the likes of us and those Jag diesels could shift a bit! 😀 Edit: Checked out the episode and amazingly it was 12 years ago!

Jim H Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have just seen a petition to name a corner of Nordschleife after her. Change.org - Name a corner of the Nürburgring Nordschleife after Sabine Schmitz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Very sad news and at only 51. She was an excellent driver and a good entertainer, always good to watch. RIP Sabine - Lets hope Murray has got the Race Circuit in the sky ready for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
