In 2004 she drove a Ford diesel van around the track for a Top Gear episode, lapping in just over 10 minutes — only nine seconds slower than fellow presenter Jeremy Clarkson's best effort in a Jaguar S-type.
Jeremey was so proud of his effort, and she nearly matched it in a bog standard Ford Transit van.

She died after a long battle with cancer.
She was only 51.

Far too young and the same age that my missus was. :-(

Rest in Peace, Sabine.
51yo is way too young to have to leave this earth.

So long Sabine

At a personal level I was looking to book a Ring Taxi for a quick lap of the 'ring with her in the driving seat :-(
