That’s incredibly sad news. She was a phenomenal driver and so full of life.

Tragic news. So sad.

This is how I will remember her, the clip was one of the many that inspired me to get a 997 GT3:

Sums it up, doesn't it? I know she'd started out of position, but even so, it really isn;t easy to pass there, let alone when it's started to rain like that.

It's mesmerising to watch.

It’s sad that the BBC hasn’t picked up on her death, or they simply deem it non-newsworthy. She was a great part of Top Gear when Top Gear was terrible. She would have made a great main presenter along with CH. the item of her driving the transit round the ‘ring was simply breathtaking and demonstrated her love of driving (I know that that was shot when JC, JM and RH were still in charge).

51! Clucking bell, that’s a tragedy.

Cancer is indeed a bh.

RIP Sabine, what a fantastic person, such a shame she’s gone.

Sad news indeed, I wasn’t even aware that she’d be ill.

Literally the first thing I saw this morning. What an awful thing to happen to such a lovely person.

RIP Sabine.

I love this one with Sabine and Tiff driving the Morgan three wheeler and Aerial Atom etc, they seem like two peas in a pod, taken too soon.

This is such sad news. She played a part in my daughter becoming obsessed with cars and believing women can drive cars equally as well as men (or better!).

Does anybody know what type of cancer she had and whether the family have setup a charitable donation page in her honour? I’d like to donate as she has given our household many happy moments.

Incredibly sad news, Sabine was such a ray of light. What you saw of her on TV is really how she was. The video of the GT3 race in the rain (or any Ring video) shows what a talent she was, particularly around her home driveway. RIP.
