Sabine Schmitz “Queen of the Nürburgring” we will greatly miss you and may you rest in peace. Thank you for all the joy you gave us over the years. You are the one any only and your name will be forever immortalised with the Nürburgring.

"This is an FIAT with an old Dutch man behind the wheel" Got to love Sabine, she is so funny ;o)

[@SpeedNAngels431]

Only Sabine can get away with saying that! Haha RIP to the Queen, such a beautiful person

[@MrPicky]

@@SpeedNAngels431 Thank you for that comment, I had totally forgotten about this video. Loved Sabine and was hoping to be able to "get a ride" with her Ring Taxi one day - but unfortunately it will never happen :( Perhaps, if there is a heaven (and I'll be admitted), I'll be able to ask her, there ;)

[@KaptainKhaos70]

was funny unfortunately :( real loss to racing and the ultimate ring taxi experience. RIP

[@HH-eh5ur]

Goodbye Sabine ! You will not be forgotten ! You have left a big hole in the auto racing world that will not be filled anytime soon ! If I could have ridden with any driver I wanted it would have been you ! RIP ! We love you

[@remaxbrad5995]

I rented a GT3 RS a few years ago from RSR and the experience was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this experience. The best part was overtaking a 458 Italia in a long sweeper... automotive bliss!!

[@apegues]

Sabine is so cheerful it’s such a pleasure to watch her, always puts me in a good mood. The day I heard she had died I was very sad in fact my mood didn’t change for a week. May God Bless your Beautiful Soul

I could just listen to the audio on this video all day and be happy with that :)

[@a.c.e.7568]

I wonder how long the Ferrari will last. What is it with these frequent maintenance intervals on those cars. Timing belts, etc?

No timing belt on the 458!

[@graham8728]

From certain angles she looks enough like Michael Schumacher to be his sister.

Graham You’re right, the jawline from the side, the way she laughs, and even the shape of her eyes somewhat.

[@bankowski1024]

Yeah.... She look like stepsister from the same father...🤣

Exactly what I thought and not just from certain angles but totally including the speedy women she is.

[@hrc1966]

The camera car seems the fastest of them all (all those "slow down so we can get a good shot" is irritating to watch).

[@TheAwesomeArcane]

At 2:54 the video just stops but the audio keeps playing. Tried skipping the video, but it's stuck on that frame. :/

[@stubones]

Well if the 458 is just a Fiat, then the GT3 RS is just a VW Beatle ;)

[@stubones]

Tobi Very true :) it is highly evolved though and both 458 and 9112 GT3 RD would drive rings around around any beetle or fiat.

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

+Tobi this is almost totally incorrect. Other than a flat engine design, they share nothing in common. The RS is water-cooled not air-cooled, revs to 8K, has variable valve timing, variable cam timing - intake and exhaust, aNS has a lot more than 25 HP, for starters. Yeah, just like a '38 Beetle...

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

+Tobi I understand exactly what you meant. You either have never pulled an engine apart or just have a tangential understanding of them, but other than the '38 Beetle and the GT3 RS sharing the idea of pistons going "sideways" instead of other designs, they share nothing. Literally nothing. The RS engine is not push rod, air cooler, carbureted, etc. Ergo, it's not "based" on the '38 Beetle.

[@dimosk7389]

+Spencer Taylor no, its not based on a beetle, as much as the 458 is not a fiat. i think everyone understands what he said, no need to take it so literally ;) having said that, we cant neglect the fact that the porsche 356, had a beetle engine and suspension parts. so the "porsche=beetle" pune has a small truth in it, but obviously not in modern cars

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

That started over 60 years ago. I'm hardly a Porsche nut, but say a 997.2 GT3 with a Metzger has nothing in common with a 356, except pistons going sideways and an engine in the back.

[@ghepardogts]

Cool video! What car was the camera car?

[@Baby1961-i5e]

Has Sabine Schmitz ever tested for Formula 1? All the other female drivers testing for F1 are about her age and I bet she's quicker. She's mastered the 'Ring, and I bet she'd test extremely well in F1. Who would not want to see Sabine Schmitz on an F1 grid? And I bet there are a ton of German companies that would sponsor a drive for her with one of the "pay to drive" teams. She could show her speed there then who knows? Maybe one of the head of the pack teams will come calling, Riciardo from Toro Rosso to Red Bull-style.

[@sultanabran1]

bit of a jump from a porsche gt3 to an f1 car. i bet jackie stewart can still smoke sabine around the nurburgring in a Matra.

[@Baby1961-i5e]

sultanabran1 Yes it is a big jump, but Sabine has raced in things like the Nurburgring 24 Hours, and if given the chance, I think should test very well in a Formula 1 car. One of Williams's prime female test drivers came from DTM, so, I think Sabine with GT3 class racing experience would adapt and test quite well in an F1 car for starters. As for the Sabine vs. Jackie Stewart thing, the GT3 class that Sabine has raced in have cars that do lap times similar to what an old Matra could do. And I think even Stewart himself would admit his reaction times aren't what they used to be, so if the younger Sabine had time to adapt to the Matra, who knows? I think even Jackie would admit to that.

[@Kneedragon1962]

As racing drivers go, Sabine is a driver of moderate ability. She has raced a lot of things at a lot of tracks with fair to middling results. She does go exceptionally well at the Green Hell, but she was doing laps there as a passenger, a child, with her father, I think. She knows that piece of road better than anybody, and that means a lot at the Ring.

[@Baby1961-i5e]

Kneedragon1962 Yeah, I heard she was riding as a passenger as a kid, as well. She's still a pretty good driver I think, and if she is given the chance to adapt the way she takes corners at the 'Ring to corners on different tracks, I think she'd do very well. I hate to say anything bad about her because she's like a hero to me and has been since I first saw her on Top Gear UK years back, but I agree she is by no means the quickest female driver out there. The best are already testing with Formula 1 teams. Man, was it a tragedy when that one female driver had that accident when the car suddenly accelerated into a trailer. She survived it I think, but ended up being found dead in a hotel room if I remember correctly. Whatever happened, she died, and it is tragic because she was so young and had some real talent. Death can be sad in general, but especially, as an F1 nut who was watching when Senna died in Imola, it's extra sad to see when someone dies as a result of driving an F1 car.

[@bighands69]

sultanabran1 It is not a jump. They are two different types of cars. Just because a person is good a open wheel cars does not mean they will be as good in a GT car.

[@princerazor]

please show the entire lap, your videos are great!

[@andrewoliver3490]

So nice to see Sabine laughing . RIP

[@njden]

great video guys by curiosity, what was the car u guys filmed from?

[@MrYoumitube]

If you cut Sabine hair short, I honestly think she resembles a Michael Shumacher.

[@pitmie]

Yeah I thought the same too...she's like woman version of Schumi.

[@Proff0ak]

MrYoumitube She's the manlier version of Shumacher.

[@buzzardbait4]

She is Schumacher’s good twin. She can teach me to drive anytime!

[@mikebarnard2689]

Sabine signed off my Manthey Motorsport modded Porsche 996 GT3 Mk1 Clubsport. Manthey fitted their KWV3 custom suspension and used Sabine to help fine tune the setup. A Pro instructor at Spa reconned it was one of the nicest balanced 996 GT3s he had even been in… so thanks Sabine, it’s nice to have some of your DNA in my little sportscar. 😊

[@stepfannify]

At fist .. i got Goosebumps when they started with the Song "Sabotage" .. but then ... the horrible Editing killed all the Passion :(

Did you get that from the Bold Ride article?

[@milhaus28]

milhaus28 You know who Ron is right?

[@robinellard]

Does this mean RSR have a fezza? I've driven their Clio, Megan, Lotus and GT3 (put a lot of money in Ron's pocket)so will have to try the 458 next.
