  1. Awfully sad news and a big loss to the automotive world. She deserves her own thread.

    rest in peace Sabine. A great character. A very sad day.

  8. That V10 M5 was made for her. It spent more time going sideways when she was behind the wheel !

    Had plenty of enjoyable evenings in the PK over the years, the entire 'Ring community will be devastated.

    Far too young an age to leave us.

    RIP :sweat:

  13. Sad news. Cancer really is a bitch. My ex-wife has c that does not seem to respond to the chemo. Thing is: I got smashed to f... but it is under my power to recover and my choice to fight. With C that choice is taken away.

  14. Just saw this sad news.

    Sabine seemed like such a great person, RIP. She was was the only woman to win the Nürburgring 24 Hours — and did it twice

    You are right she does deserve her own farewell thread. All these people do imo @El Toro . Otherwise they all get jumbled up, anecdotes get lost, especially when more than one person had died recently. Just a thought.

  17. Sad news.
     
  18. In the first try, she overtook at least one bike. Imagine the embarrassment of being overtaken by a Transit when you are riding like a god on your bike at the 'ring!

    On my first trip there, a guy that I didn't know came with us and was also on a Ducati. He managed to shut the place and ended up in hospital. The place just blew me away. You got to Germany which is such a well-ordered country. On roadworks on some autobahn, there was a 80kph speed limit that everyone obeys meticulously. From there, you end up at the 'ring where carnage rules. I once spent three days there with the track only open for about 3 hours over three days. There was at least one fatality. An insane place in the most well-ordered country in the world. So sad. She thrives at the 'ring but loses to c.
