RIP Sabine Schmitz, Queen of the Nurburgring
Sabine Schmitz has passed away at 51 after her battle with cancer.  This Sunday’s episode of "Top Gear" will be dedicated to Schmitz, the BBC said on Wednesday. “Sabine was a beloved member of the ‘Top Gear’ family and presenting team since 2016, having first appeared on the show in 2004, and everyone who had the pleasure of working with her on the team is in shock at this news,” executive producer Clare Pizey said. “Sabine radiated positivity, always wore her cheeky smile no matter how hard things got – and was a force of nature for women drivers in the motoring world.” “Like everyone else who knew her, we will truly miss her – Sabine really was one of a kind,” Pizey continued. “Our thoughts are with her partner Klaus, who was always by her side and who we welcomed to Dunsfold many times, and her family in Germany.” Here's some classic Sabine videos:

OMG I literally JUST found out about her in a Donut video. How tragic. Rest in peace, may you have long open roads and a tank full of gas in the afterlife.

Tragic. Watching that video in the Porsche she flys around there like me cheating in Gran Turismo with a Stage 4 Suzuki Escudo.

I spoke with her on the phone to set up a lap but she sadly wasn't available.
Her talent and joie de vivre will be missed. 😩 |

Found out about her through Top Gear. True driver. Such a shame. The transit van lap is unbelievable!

Very sad to hear. More than anyone, I think she really put the Ring on the map. Before her, geeks knew about it. After her, many normal people knew about it and wanted to go. I know I speak for many when I say a bucket list item was just made permanently unattainable for me. I would have paid through the nose for that taxi ride. RIP Sabine.
