Hold me pint. I’m having a go

 

Yes just read this
It is with great sadness, Nürburgring Queen Sabine Schmitz has lost her race against cancer.
Sabine Schmitz had been mentioned in one breath with the Nürburgring for decades. She was the only woman to win a 24-day race in the Green Hell. Today the motorsport family reaches the sad news that Sabine Schmitz has died after a long battle with cancer.
With her racing assignments with Hannes Scheid in the Eifelblitz, her successes with Frikadelli Racing and as a TV star on "Top Gear" she got the title "Queen of the Nürburgring". Hardly anyone else has driven as many laps on the Nordschleife as Sabine Schmitz, who was born in Nürburg.

@Advikaz @doogalman knew her quite well I think. Cancer is something very few can outrun, no matter how fast. RIP.

 

Extremely sad news.
RiP

 

I think she deserves a thread of her own

 

More than a race winning driver but from what I hear, one of life’s truely nice people.

 

Terrible news

 

That’s very sad, will always fondly remember her and Richards lap round the ring in a Transit

 

Sad news.

 

Oh no

What a gal, bl**dy funny and bl**dy fast. A terrible loss.

RIP Sabine.

 

Just had that pop up on my phone about Sabine, terrible shame, taken far too early, she looked a great laugh, would’ve loved to have a beer with her.
R.I.P Sabine

 

Bloody shame. Never met her but she certainly came across as one of lifes good eggs...

 

Complete respect for Sabine, very sad news, taken away at such a young age. RIP Sabine

 

RIP Sabine, one ultra-cool lady.

 

When I was a youngster I distinctly remember it was rumoured he could kick the ball to 70mph. RIP
