I wonder if Sabine knew how famous she was internationally. In a small town in California she was admired so much Not only for her skill but for her wonderful personality...long live the Queen....
What a perfect way of respecting the beautiful lady who is racing with the angels now 😢😞 I’m a seventy three years older male who is choking up watching this 😢😢🏁
i had the honor of being blown off the road on the Ring by our Queen. She was driving the Ring Taxi back in that time, and she was every bit as perfect on that track as she ever was. legendary
It will be hard to watch the show, knowing that lovely talented lady has left us. And especially her outstanding laugh and her mischievous smile.. R.I.P Sabine.
just because it's digital doesnt mean a lot of work wasnt put into it. painting iRacing liveries takes some skill, and simply making it around the Green Hell in one piece, even not at speed, is something in itself. i think that being able to make perfect copies of the livery, and driving in formation, and not dealing with all the regular haggle at the track on a normal day, this tribute is actually more fitting. it is pure, it is clean, it is perfection. just like she was. she lived and breathed the tarmac that was the Ring. she wore that ring on her own hand. and that is why she will forever be the Queen. Long may she Race.
i like to think that they are sitting together now, criticizing races as they happen, arguing over who was at fault in a crash, or who had the line. what a fine argument it would be!
RIP Sabine - we may have lost a truly remarkable lady and driver, but you have left us with countless memories and your ability as a driver and your humour and warmth as a person.
I just found this video, and I'll say it's a beautiful tribute to one of my all time favorite drivers. Race in peace Sabine. Sweet dreams, good Lady. 😢💔
What a beautiful tribute..what a beautiful day with the sun out and the colors of spring. The ring never looked so beautiful it must be her. Wish they would have taken her for a last trip around the ring..shed a lot tears for a beautiful queen. Keep on on smiling !
i was stationed in germany in the late 90s early 2000s. i built a little crappy vw cabriolet to take to the Ring. i spent many weekends up there, racking up well over 100 laps on the famed Green Hell. and one of my best memories was watching the Queen, long may she race, ripping past me in one of the Ring Taxis that she drove back in that time. i caught her face clearly in her helmet, in that BMW M5, with scared passengers, as she absolutely blasted past me in my little vw go-kart. i know it wasnt much, but i love thinking about this tiny link to one of the most influential women in racing, and pure racing royalty. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.
What an awesome tribute! I grew up close to the Ring and survived a white knuckle flight in her taxi! Second to none and a memory of a lifetime! RIP Sabine, race free!
While watching my eyes were watered the whole time and when on Döttinger Höhe you went in formation and flashing your beams... I couldn't hold it anymore 😭 Thank you for a wonderful tribute to an outstanding person. R.I.P. Sabine. Forever in our hearts. ❤️
I hoped we would have her with us for many years to come yet but I guess God needed a fast driver :(. That tribute was very moving, I confess I was holding back the tears and I know Sabine would laugh, kindly, and call me a silly emotional Englishman for it.
Yep. This elderly American racer cried nonstop.... How beautiful a tribute to a great racer: 5 Porsches in formation.....no words needed...just drive...
I think the souls take her coffin ⚰️ round there for 1 last time ❤️❤️rip Sabine Schmitz u r still one of the most respected woman to off lived gone but not forgotten she might not be here be she will always be in our hearts ♥️
That's a very very good Tribute to this wonderful woman- because, she lives Racing, Racing, Racing...R.I.P. SABINE SCHMITZ🍀⚘ We will, your sweety Smile never forget...👍🌼
Out of respect for Sabine this lap should have been on the limits of grip. Flat out every inch from start to finish. She'll be missed by many, for a long time to come. Rest In Pits Sabine
WOW glad everyone is enjoying this as much as I did when driving. Still tear up thinking about it.... Appreciate you all... RIP Queen of the Nords
Thank you for doing this drive. Unforgettable - just like Sabine. UK loved her.
LONG MAY SHE RACE
I wonder if Sabine knew how famous she was internationally. In a small town in California she was admired so much
Not only for her skill but for her wonderful personality...long live the Queen....
Even in a small town in Australia she is also remembered.
Big towns in Australia as well, Rest in peace Sabine, best wishes from Sydney.
I too am small town Ca. RIP Sabine.
And a tiny village in Northern Thailand. RIP Sabine.
RIP -- from Kentucky
A lovely gesture for a lovely lady, may you rest in peace Sabine 😢

Gentleman driver...

I agree
Editional her down-to-earth behaviour
Who would have thought that a virtual tribute feels so real? Thanks, very moving.
it's all we got atm

puts a lump in my throat watching, thanks for doing this for Sabine
That is a very moving tribute to a lovely lady. I'm unashamedly crying just watching it. RIP Sabine.
Nice tribute to a truly talented lady!. RIP Gone but never forgotten.
❤
It took me a few seconds to realize this is a game..RIP sabine
iRacing is seriously ridiculous. you should see how some of the streamers do it! it literally feels like a live broadcast of "meatspace" racing.
They say that motorsport lost a legend when Ayrton Senna passed....motorsport recently lost an Angel...RIP
i like to think that they are sitting together now, criticizing races as they happen, arguing over who was at fault in a crash, or who had the line. what a fine argument it would be!
I can imagine all of these legends now racing in heaven while Murray Walker is commentating the race
@@ancient1946 all sins are forgiven if you accept him as are lord before dying lmao
@@ancient1946 gotta be a little bit naughty mate otherwise life’s just boring 😉
what a helluva good race that would be!
Very well done....a CLASSIC tribute to a GREAT racecar driver.
RIP Sabine - we may have lost a truly remarkable lady and driver, but you have left us with countless memories and your ability as a driver and your humour and warmth as a person.
My favorite thing I heard her say is ''It's fun to scare people''
Reading the comments is like cutting onions 😭
RIP Sabine!! And shame on everyone who clicked thumbs down on this video...
Absolutely what Her Majesty the Queen of the Ring deserved. Thank you.
I just found this video, and I'll say it's a beautiful tribute to one of my all time favorite drivers. Race in peace Sabine. Sweet dreams, good Lady. 😢💔
Wonderful tribute for a wonderful person...
What a fine tribute - good sport. RIP Sabine Schmitz
R.I.P. Sabine Schmitz. A great tribute to a truly amazing Driver and Personality.
forever the Queen of the Ring. LONG MAY SHE RACE
Every time that I do this track on gran turismo I for now on driver Porsche In her honor Rest in peace queen of the ring
I loved this special lady soo much, please God may she rest in eternal peace
What a beautiful tribute..what a beautiful day with the sun out and the colors of spring. The ring never looked so beautiful it must be her. Wish they would have taken her for a last trip around the ring..shed a lot tears for a beautiful queen. Keep on on smiling !
Should have been in the back of Transit Van of course.
You are right! She would have that big smile of hers!
So will the ring name a corner after her? Would be cool.
NO , IT HAS TO BE THE " SABINE STRAIGHT AWAY " , WHERE SHE LOVED TO GET AIRBORN !!!
Should name the whole place after her
They did. It's the very first corner on the Nordschleife
For all the prestige of F1 drivers, none could command the love and respect thats been shown to Saline from the UK and Germany
We were all so blessed to have had such an amazing human being have a huge effect in our lives.
Sabine deserves a corner of the ring named in her honor
she was a force of nature R.I.P Sabine

Nice moment for sure!

Must have been a ride to remember!
While watching my eyes were watered the whole time and when on Döttinger Höhe you went in formation and flashing your beams... I couldn't hold it anymore 😭
Thank you for a wonderful tribute to an outstanding person.
R.I.P. Sabine.
Forever in our hearts. ❤️
Me to.
I had never heard of Sabine until she passed. I have since watched clips of her driving. She was unbelievably good.
She would be mentioned in the same sentence with the legends like Niki Lauda,Aryton Senna,Roland Ratzenberger and so on
No question of it.
Jep
Confirmed
Agree
You'll never see as nice a person as Sabine who was always courteous on and off the track. She will be surely missed. RIP
You've touched the hearts of many, rest in peace Sabine
RIP Sabine. The world is a duller, darker place without you.
Wow so schön! And the soundtrack of heaven. 🥲🏁🙏🏼💙👆🏼
She was always so bubbly and crazy funny
Top driver and will be missed x
What better way to Honour a Legend, Gone but never forgotten. RIP Sabine Schmitz.
I hoped we would have her with us for many years to come yet but I guess God needed a fast driver :(.

RIP Sabine Schmitz, had been watching last year's 24 hours at Nürburgring, too bad.
She is now Racing Sith the Angels. RIP Sabine
She can now challenge James Hunt at the big 'Ring in the sky and Murray Walker can commentate for god.
Awesome gesture
RIP Sabine, the nurburgring will not be the same without you.
You can imagine her saying no you need to stay further left at this corner then laugh at them 😢🙏🏼
I loved her attitude and constant smile not to mention her impressive driving skills. So sorry she has gone on.
Sabine will always be remembered fondly, she was always a delight, to see and hear,
Tolle Nummer 5 Porsche im Frikadelli Design mit dem Bild der Queen vom Nürburgring...

Ford we need you to make a transit do a lap of the nerburgring in under 10 minutes
Merci a iRacing pour se belle hommage a Sabine Schimitz repose en paix championne tu resteras dans nos coeur a jamais R.I.P

Such a tragic loss.
Rest in peace Sabine 😔
