Done, as well. Thanks, Larry. You would think this would be a no-brainer for the Ring.

Its fitting that you posted this particular video, back in 2003 (when I was back in the UK) I attended my 1st 'Ring event, a BMW Int'l drivers school, which the BMWCCA attended, I had a 996.1 GT3 CS at the time... it
was a great event and I caught JC's "ringworm" ... but even after 2 days of lead/follow and other instruction once I got out on my own I rapidly realized I did not know where the f*** I was ...


notice anything "funny" about my car?

I vowed that when I went back the following year I would know the track better, so a few months before my next school, I started watching lap videos on YT, and this was *the* one I used the most in order to visualize the
line, corners etc ... when I returned to the school that year I was a LOT faster and confident around the track... and it cemented my "addiction" to this unique place...

So, in some way, you could say that Sabine taught me how to drive the 'Ring... I never met her personally, but I often saw her in the Pistenklause after another amazing day on the track...

She was so much part of the "legend" and experience of the 'Ring - it will never be quite the same place it was without her ...

Thanks for teaching me the line! RIP Sabine!

 

Cool story Larry!. Unfortunately I never met her at the ring when I was there.

 

Since her family runs the hotel Am Tiergarten you would often see her around there ... particularly in the evenings when everyone decanted themselves into the Pistenklause for many biers and "steak on a stone"...

happy days!

 

Done and Shared. That will easily eclipse the 15,000 mark.

 

This one really shows her winning public personality...what a great smile...and those "trademark" screams, too:
God bless,

"I have never driven an M car like the M5, or whatever, with proper brakes" ...

 

Been to the 'ring three times, each with a visit for this amazing meal... twice stayed in their hotel. Fantastic racing memorabilia everywhere. Never met her - always knew she was legendary.

 

What happens when you make Sabine start in the back of the field?

Enjoy....

 

A decade ago, Sabine took us around the Ring, and often sideways as in this photo. Passed 40 people and 3 crashed cars in one wet lap. She was every bit as charming in person as her TV persona. One of my favourites human beings on this planet, her moment with us still one of the highlights of my life. A truly awesome person and such sadness to hear of her passing...

 

Fabulous!

Good bless,
