    Indeed. Such a shame RIP

    The transit Van lap was probably the most impressive lap I’ve seen. She’s on another level.

    I was fortunate enough to get a lap in the E39 M5 back in 2002 with her.

    She was crazy, chatting away whilst drifting the car!

    RIP Sabine.

    Met her a couple of times in the late 2000's, always had the time of day for people. Sadly missed.

    This weekend @ Nurnburgring 24 hours race.... and there is a tribute to Sabine ...


    Lap of honour in memory of Sabine Schmitz. [​IMG]
    Today at 6:00pm CEST, Nürburgring legend Johannes Scheid will do a lap around the #Nordschleife in the 1996 BMW M3 'Eifelblitz'.
    Together with Sabine, he won the ADAC TOTAL 24h-Rennen Nürburgring twice.…

    To paraphrase Tyrell in Blade Runner.

    The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Sabine.

    In the eyes of motorsport fans, there can be no tougher race than the 24 Hours Nürburgring. The Queen of the Nürburgring, Sabine Schmitz, remains the only woman to have won this race in 1996 and 1997. Rising to fame in a BMW M2, she circled the circuit 27,000 times and won nearly 50 career races there, earning her nickname.
