We will miss her, a lot. She had a great joy of life and was a heck of a pilot. Our condolences to her family and friends.
Also, a belated “Thank you.” for all the crazy, cool things you did and shared with us.

I’m gutted this week between the death of Murray Walker and Sabine. Both had an energy and enthusiasm that was infectious and they’ll be sadly missed 
There are a fortunate few whose demeanor and expressions light up those around them. Her face is frozen in a moment of laughter when I think of her. I suspect Jeremy and the gang were in awe of her and I imagine that they are absolutely gutted.
For those who don’t know her, she was a famous driver whose experience at Nurburgring was unparalleled. She raced and won there professionally many times and also was a ring driver, commercially.
Here is a famous episode of top gear that highlights her attempt to land a sub-10 min lap at the ring in a Ford Transit work van:
And there’s that smile again!
And, her race career:
