    I’ve read multiple places where it was “persistent type of cancer” but haven’t seen which type of cancer.

    She probably could have beat the 10 minute mark had they shaved the tires!

    Sad to see someone so full of life going so early.

    Undercarriage shots show a drive shaft spinning.

    What a joyful performance. "Go, Go, Go, GO!"

    Godspeed to her.

    The first few seconds of the video described the van as having 136 HP. Very impressive driving.

    Very sad.

    My wife Jennifer who’s a travel consultant has a customer who owns a Porsche here arranged a trip to Germany to the ring and arranged a ride with Sabine in a rental and was VERY IMPRESSED! Another example of a great person taken way to early by cancer.
    God’s Speed Sabine!

    I'd feel safer with her than driving myself. (or any professional).

    Amazing the number of video tributes to her. She looks to have been an absolute gas to be around.

    I was pretty shocked the other day to read of Sabine's passing. Such a great driver and personality. She'll be missed!
