INTERNATIONAL - German racing driver and TV personality Sabine Schmidt has passed away from cancer at the age of 51.
âThe Nürburgring has lost its most famous female racing driver,â the German circuit said in a statement. âSabine Schmitz passed away far too early after a long illness. We will miss her and her cheerful nature. Rest in peace Sabine!â
Sabine became famous after an astounding driving feat that featured on the sixth season of the BBCâs Top Gear. After tutoring Jeremy Clarkson on the Nordschleife she then claimed that she could beat the time that he had achieved in a Jaguar S-Type, driving a Ford Transit Van with barely 100kW. Although she didnât quite beat his time, she came remarkably close, while also setting a new record for an unmodified van, of 10 minutes and 8 seconds.
