Really sad news!
RIP, Sabine!

GuidoK · 03-17-2021, 02:47 PM

OMG that's really sad. It comes as a shock.
Still so young.

As one of the few women in the scene she did so much to promote motorsports, the nordschleife and love for cars in general.

TargaM2 · 03-17-2021, 03:01 PM

Terrible news

, I'll never forget her overtaking superbikes & performance cars at the 'ring' in the Transit van.

chris82 · 03-17-2021, 03:05 PM

omg! This is tragic and so sad to hear, always loved her appearances on Top Gear. RIP

ellipsis212 · 03-17-2021, 03:32 PM

Sad news. Legend.

M3_Legend · 03-17-2021, 03:52 PM

I loved her driving queen of the green hell... R.I.P god bless her soul

MadBimmeRad · 03-17-2021, 03:57 PM

Rest in peace beautiful soul

USDMM3 · 03-17-2021, 04:09 PM

I can't believe it. R.I.P.

paquet · 03-17-2021, 04:42 PM

This is quite a shock. She was just legendary.
And so young at that.
I recall hearing of Murray Walker passing away just a couple of days ago, and now her.

Honestly, the older I get, hearing of someone you knew of dying just seems so personal - like another part of your life just taken away for ever, leaving you with just fading memories.

Ikester19 · 03-17-2021, 04:53 PM

Very sad news, RIP queen of the ring

greentrbo95gst · 03-17-2021, 04:57 PM

I shared a beer with her at the Nürburgring bar. What a great personality. I never got in to a ring taxi though. I don't do well as a passenger. Renaming my car after her as of today.

spuntyb · 03-17-2021, 05:03 PM

Legend. Will miss her and her spirit

walmark · 03-17-2021, 05:08 PM

Heartbreaking, best M car driver at the ring. RIP Sabine...

SteveChester · 03-17-2021, 05:55 PM

RIP - watched some of her race videos - including the one linked above - she was fast. Bet she could have driven that track with her eyes closed and still beat me!

cncmastr · 03-17-2021, 06:52 PM

Wtf?!?!

meko · 03-17-2021, 06:55 PM

I'm just shocked. I had no idea she was battling cancer. As a survivor myself it's incredible hard to hear this news. RIP...

deemo319 · 03-17-2021, 07:05 PM

Rest In Peace Queen Sabine 👑
