Wow, RIP. The Top Gear episode of her trying to best the 10min mark on the Ring was my first exposure to her driving excellence. She was always a treat to see on TV and watched her in a few races.

This is just not right.  On all accounts she was such a good person. I had not heard of her illness so this comes as a real surprise to me. 
 

Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

I understand she was to be the new Stig until Clarkson threw a hissy fit and got it all canceled.

The Top Gear UK show will be running a 30 minute special today for Sabine, featuring both current and past show hosts.  Too bad we don't get it in the US, I'm hoping the BBC will post it to their YouTube channel later.

---

Top Gear has announced that the original Top Gear team, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, will be joining the new team today for a 30-minute special on Sabine Schmitz after her passing last month.

Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness, joined by the former hosts, will be leading the special program that will air at 9pm this Sunday, April 4th, on BBC iPlayer right after the Top Gear series finale on BBC One. It will also be shown at 7:30pm on BBC One on Wednesday, April 7th. They’ll be joined by former hosts Rory Reid and Matt LeBlanc, plus special guests David Coulthard, Susie and Toto Wolff, and Jess Hawkins.
