Sabine Schmitz, “Top Gear” presenter and race car driver known as the “Queen of the Nürburgring,” has died. She was 51.
In 2020, Schmitz revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer in late 2017.
Schmitz, who first made a splash on the popular British driving series in 2004 when she drove a van around the Nürburgring track, became a presenter on the program a dozen years later. She was the woman for the task, having won Germany’s challenging 14-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife in both 1996 and 1997.
This Sunday’s episode of “Top Gear” will be dedicated to Schmitz, the BBC said on Wednesday.

(Lone) gentleman, start your engine: Matt LeBlanc will return as the sole host of “Top Gear” for at least two more seasons, the BBC confirmed Monday morning. Previously, it was unclear if the “Friends” star would be the face of the BBC Two series’ upcoming 24th season.

Still, it’s on, and LeBlanc will be joined by Chris Harris and Rory Reid, with regular appearances from Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz and The Stig.

A representative for Matt LeBlanc last week denied rumors that the actor had issued an ultimatum to the producers of Top Gear, saying that the actor did not, as was widely reported, threaten to leave the show if his co-host, Chris Evans, was not fired. Denials aside, Evans was, in fact, fired this week, leaving LeBlanc as the sole host of the BBC auto series.
LeBlanc's addition to the series this season was part of a retooling of the show that included the installation of Evans as host. However, the new format proved extremely unpopular, and the series' ratings have been in freefall.
