    Unbelievable news.
    I was absolutely shocked and stunned when I heard about the death of Sabine Schmitz.
    Rarely in my life have I been so stunned by the death of someone who was not close to me.
    I was allowed to travel with her in the race taxi twice.
    These were experiences that I will never forget.
    Rest in peace Sabine,Queen of the Nürburgring

      @@godzillasdad Not quite. Clarkson was so proud that he got a Jag S-type diesel around in under 10 minutes, 9 minutes 59 seconds. She said she could do that in a van on Top Gear. In the Transit diesel, the fastest time she could pull was 10 minutes and 8 seconds. Unbelievably fast for a van but she couldn't quite beat it. She did take the Jag around and beat his time by almost 50 seconds though.

    To just even out the comments a little.
    If I remember correctly her car was sent to the back of the grid for not making it to the grid on time due to a fault, correct me if I'm wrong but it's also not too important as to why, more that she was at the back for some reason or other.
    The cars she passes are from a different class, the people she is truly racing are much further ahead and it took her another lap or two to close up on them.
    Again correct me if I'm wrong.

      @slayer8actual 4 роки тому +8

      I mentioned that exact thing on another video I saw of her racing. The car in front of her would pull away from her on the straights because he had a faster car, but her corner speeds were much better than his. She made many attempts to pass; sticking her nose along side him entering the corners, but he kept cutting her off at the apex not allowing her to complete the pass. I felt if she pushed too hard, she might have taken him out, and therefore wished to run a clean race and not bump him out of the way. In reality, he should have let her go. Some might say he was just protecting his position but I think he knew that once she passed she would leave him long behind. Since there are more corners on that track than long straights where he had the advantage, he had no chance to keep up with her. Instead he cut her off constantly and didn't allow her to continue on and pass other cars and continue in her move up the line.

    WOW! I've been watching her for years and she NEVER disappoints. It's too bad she's from a different Era because I'm fully convinced she could have been one of the greats in F-1! Maybe even given SENNA, MANSELL and PROST a real difficult time.

    Watching Sabine drive thru traffic on the 'ring is joy to watch. A "how to" for every aspiring race car driver. a) That she makes it look so darn easy is a tribute to how talented she was. b) Driven with surgical precision if the driver in front left spare inches she was good to go in the pass. Very sad that she left this earth way to soon.

      A bit of both it seems. She is in A GT3 spec 911 and a lot of the cars around her are GT4/cup cars at the beginning. However there's still some GT3 cars she blasts past in there aswell and no doubt she caught up to a lot more after what seemed a poor qualifying...
