Damn that sucks, she wasn’t even that old. Sabine always seemed like she was genuinely happy behind the wheel and just talking cars, I liked her on Top Gear. RIP.

Just found out the bad news myself.
I did not know she was fighting cancer. Rip Sabine.

Great video, Flatbutt: A Woman in Full.
My daughter loved TG largely based on Sabine.

So sad to hear this. She seemed like a truly joyful person.
My oldest kid visited the NurburgRing last year and was going to take a lap or two in his rental car. I convinced him to buy a lap on the ‘ring taxi, after it was over he was so glad he chose that option. |

Sad news. I long dreamed of gettin my 911 to the ring, and having her show me how fast it can go, and then see if I am remotely close to that level. I suspect I would be embarrassed how slow I really am, but it would be cool to see the performance of the car compared to the modern stuff.
RIP Sabine.
