BMW RACING LEGENDS: SABINE SCHMITZ - QUEEN OF THE RING | CONDOR SPEED SHOP
Few figures in motorsport have left behind a legacy as unmistakable as Sabine Schmitz. From a young age, she displayed a natural talent for racing—from sneaking away from her family’s hotel near the Nürburgring Nordschleife to drive laps as a young girl, to ultimately earning her reputation as a master of the circuit and “The Queen of the Ring.” Perhaps even more enduring than her talents behind the wheel was her larger-than-life personality, which earned her a global following through her many television appearances. Jeremy Clarkson said of her, “When she walked into a room it was as though everything just got a bit brighter and a bit louder.” That sentiment is shared throughout the automotive world, and as the years pass, her legend only seems to grow stronger.
