RIP Sabine Schmitz, Queen of the Nurburgring

One thing I forgot to say (never met her), she came across as a lovely person.

Always smiling always positive, the kind of person who's energy you LOVE to be around.

I like smiley people.

Be smiley

Love that episode in the R8 where she smashed the Audi machine.

Rest In Peace

Nice video on the BMW unscripted series from 10 years ago showing Sabine doing what she loves - driving fast and scaring people:

Always hard to see a legend go.

RIP

Can't think of anyone more deserving of one. Admins, any way this could make it to the front page?

That’s a nice video. Thanks for sharing. RIP.

Such tragic news. I always wished to have had an opportunity to be a passenger in the Ring Taxi driven by Sabine.

Condolences to her family and friends. The motorsport and automotive world will miss her dearly. Thank you Sabine for all your contributions and inspiring so many people.

pz619 · 03-19-2021, 12:50 AM

This is so tragic. She really is one of a kind. I spent a good portion yesterday evening watching her videos driving street and race cars on various circuits. Unbelievable person, personality, and driver. We’ll miss you.

Pentium · 03-19-2021, 02:21 AM

Huge talent, you will be deeply missed....

Beemer5to3 · 03-19-2021, 05:16 AM

Heartbroken - she clearly just had an absolute passion for what she did, and you can't help but smile watching her on camera. RIP.

She was such a badass. Named my daughter after her.

Oh man so sad. Lady, you are beloved by many of us.
Wow.

Maverik259 · 03-20-2021, 11:14 AM

Wow very sad. Been awhile since I've seen her videos but always a treat when top gear featured her.
