3:40. That’s how I want to remember Sabine.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Very true brother. She had the fans love for the track but the skill to share it with us.

[@jef0183]

Absolutely. I enjoyed (and still do) evey minute watching her. Starting to watch all the old videos with her. So sad...

[@bridgerectifier7711]

Thank you. I have only recently discovered Sabine's passing. A truly gifted and exceptionally beautiful person in every sense. I prefer the 3 wheel Morgan but the Ariel Atom sounds like a Very Angry Wasp, destined to sting you! I'm not sure that's the kind of thrill I would look for. Cheers !!!

That full-body laugh, her exuberance and the pure joy in her eyes........ yes, she will definitely be missed. And the occasional naughty glint in her eyes challenging you to do better than her. What a woman! What a loss!

[@propm]

When you are in the passenger seat with Sabine and she screams "I'm afraid" then I would be scared for my life.

[@Largallama]

Such sad news, never seen her without a smile on her face, great sense of humor and even better racer, RIP Queen of the greatest track on earth, race with the gods Sabine.

The more dangerous it is the more she laughs, she will be missed her so much, such a watchable personality

Her laugh was as brilliant as her driving. I'm still heart broken at the loss of such a beautiful wonderful soul.

[@serenityinside1]

RIP Sabine. Taken way too soon at 51. (March 2021) You were special - thanks for.the laughs etc

[@jcgabriel1569]

The typical racing driver's reflex when being a passenger on a car being driven fast, at 2:22, when she applied opposite lock, his reaction mimics opposite lock as well!

[@jgerdinggmail]

Came here for that comment; thought the same exact thing - his instincts took over and he tried to countersteer, that was awesome!

Nicely spotted! I love how it makes him laugh.

This video is a real seesaw of emotions. One moment laughing with them then the next sorrow but then straight on to "thank goodness we had these moments to enjoy with her over and over again". Brilliant. Just, utterly, brilliant.

Godspeed Sabine. What a truly free spirit. You are forever in my heart.

I had never heard of Sabine until I saw her passing on KZbin. After watching a few videos, was very sad to see such a dynamic and talented person passing at such a young age.

What a wonderful pair, two motoring legends, Tiff and Sabine, 27 out of 10 for getting her heart rate above 90, miss you already Sabine, race in peace.

As a driver, and that's all I care about, she is very very good. I think Abbie Eaton is better.

[@MrThordahl]

Absolutely, I couldn't more agree

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Absolutely love seeing them both having fun, and especially her now that she’s gone. I’ve been watching many videos of her lately and each is a treat. Bittersweet, but I’m grateful to see each one showing a person who loved to drive and to race.

[@zxr-cade2026]

I still can't quite believe the unbearably tragic news I witnessed today First it was the flying Finn Mikkola in February 4 days ago it was sir Murray Walker And today it was queen Sebine RIP to all 3 of them

[@m.b.82]

And she's looking great.

[@murrothbro195]

Honestly I've been enamored since that legendary Top Gear film where her and Hammond take a Transit van around the nurburing. She's the chillest and most badass racer out there. Nobody makes driving look more exhilarating and joyous than her.

Sabine made you smile every time, what a legend, definitely as stated by others, she is the queen of the Nurbergring with thousands and thousands of laps in every car possible, she will definitely be missed, broke me to hear of her passing, but she will live on with all us petrol heads, rest in peace, the Queen of the road/track. 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

I watched this at half speed, talk about a crack up, i had tears streamin down my face when Sabine did the speed tests. She is a true rev head. The best bit was tiff in the 3 wheeler. I played that at . 25 when he tried to drift it. Tiffs facial expressions are priceless. Sabine is such a spunky Germanic personality , and naturally funny with her accent, very sad to hear of her passing. She was an absolute joy.
