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 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

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.
