RIP 'Queen of Nürburgring' Sabine Schmitz.

Died today aged 51.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

There are very few women who manage to earn the respect of all of the men they come into contact with. In the motor-sport world, she was almost unique in that respect and one of the few people to out-Clarkson Clarkson.

Such a talent will be sadly missed.

A very fine driver.  Very sad news.
If at first you don't succeed then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

A crying shame at such a young age.
