Sad news, a very likable young lady gone to early.

Sabine Schmitz death: Top Gear host and racing driver dies aged 51
Known as the ‘Queen of the Nürburgring’ racetrack, Schmitz also became famous for her role on BBC’s Top Gear where she first appeared back in 2004

Following Jeremy Clarkson’s exit as lead presenter in 2015 she became a regular recurring member of the revamped team.

The Nürburgring confirmed on Twitter: “The Nurburgring has lost its most famous female racing driver.

“Sabine Schmitz passed away far too early after a long illness. We will miss her and her cheerful nature. Rest in peace Sabine!”

Schmitz revealed last year she had been battling with cancer since 2017.
