Dreadful news, so young, but she certainly lived in the Fast Lane, RIP (Race In Peace)

So I just re-watched TopGear Season 6 Episode 7, where Sabine attempts to lap the Nurburgring in a Transit Van in under 10 minutes, and was surprised to see, for the final attempt, they used a modded Gen 2 Viper to pace her around the track – she would draft it on the straights to go a little faster.

Yay Viper – Yay Sabine! I’m so sad she’s gone – she was an awesome driver – period – and her enthusiasm made her a great personality to watch.
