A tragic loss. Her great talent and personality brought a smile to many around the world.
RIP

God damnit. She was really great, an amazing driver, funny and just a real pleasure.
Fuck cancer.
God damnit!!!!

Very sad news. Great entertaining personality on top of her awesome driving.
RIP Sabine.

Oh no. True legend. RIP

Anybody know what kind of cancer she had?

Ibiza · 03-17-2021, 09:32 PM

Such awful news, especially in the setting of the past year. The Queen of the Ring had a warm and joyful personality. She is now looking down upon us, as I will surely say a pray for Sabrine when I'm back at the Ring. I'm sorry that I never had the opportunity to have a ring taxi with you Sabrine,considering 3 trips to the Ring over the past 12 years. Rest In Peace Sabrine🌹, as you'll be missed by your BMW fans.

As per TMZ "She revealed last year she had been battling a rare form of cancer since 2017."

Terrible news. RIP, champion! Thank you for the memories and the laughs.

KevinGS · 03-17-2021, 10:06 PM

I remember reading about her, and watching some vids. RIP So sad.

clee1982 · 03-17-2021, 10:19 PM

Ring taxi with her was on my bucket list in high school (E39 M5) never gotten the chance, RIP...

RIP to a legend may the most high guide and protect your soul and your loved ones...🙏🏽

Shocking news.

Condolences to her friends and family.

adc · 03-17-2021, 10:48 PM

No, no, please not her...

If you’ve ever driven the Ring, or any other track at speed in the rain, you’ll understand what she does in that video. It is mind blowing.

RIP.

Truly a legend in this industry. RIP.

KevinM · 03-18-2021, 12:27 AM

My favorite Sabine video, bar none:

I can't remember when this video was first posted, but this plus Tiff's iconic E39 M5 review convinced me to buy my E39 M5 in 2004, which I still have all these years later.

For me, not being fortunate enough to know her, how Sabine drives in this video sums up her passion for driving.

Sabine, you are missed. RIP.

R.I.P - true talent. You will be missed

Rest in peace, thoughts to her family.
