I knew she was ill, didn't realise it had got so bad.
R.I.P. Sabine Schmitz
I met her once at the nurburgring she was chatting to folk in the Car park before taking a group round in a minibus .
Very down to earth and like us but very very fast around the nurburgring.
:cry2:
I've literally just read about this..what a shock..I had no idea she was I'll....took me by surprise. What an absolute shame..
Sad, 51 is a bit early RIP
I recall watching her (on Top Gear) driving a Transit van around the Nurburgring faster than most could do it in a sports car. What a girl. Far too young to lose her life, a real shame.

That is sad, she was an amazing driver. In that same episode she ended up driving a dodge viper ahead of the transit van that Clarkson was driving to break up the air in front. Made going fast look so easy.
RIP Sabine Schmitz
A hot sheila who drove fast, with enormous skill! :)
Too young for sure, sad news indeed.
So Sad, So Young. Brilliant happy person to watch. Transit van video so good. Incredible driver. Not at all fair.
I never liked Top Gear, I mean cars, ewwwe.
The one time I remember enjoying something on that show, was the German lady ripping up the Ring in a transit van passing sports cars. Then stripping it bare and clocking just over 10 minutes. She was so lively, fast, talented and interesting when she spoke.
A very sad loss.
Very sad, a very talented driver.
