In memory of Sabine Schmitz, Queen of the Nurburgring | Motorvision
Рет қаралды 922,222
Күн бұрынSince the 1930's racecar drivers from all origins have tried to set new records on the Nurburgring. Although only very few ever could match Sabine Schmitz. In the years 1996 and 97 she won the 24 hour race as the first woman ever and therefore earned the title "Queen of the Nurburgring".
Unfortunately Sabine Schmitz lost her battle against cancer on the 16th of march 2021. On the sad occasion of her passing, we look back on her greatest successes. Rest in Peace, Sabine!

Good Times and great tv.
