Figures from both the automotive and motorsport world have taken to social media to pay tribute to German racer Sabine Schmitz.

Schmitz passed away on Wednesday following a lengthy battle with cancer, aged 51.

#NLS – Very sad to hear that Sabine Schmitz (1969-2021) has passed away. The "Queen of Nordschleife" was a crowd favourite due to her open, humorous way. The two-time @24hNBR winner was an icon at the wheel of the #Frikadelli #Porsche. Our sympathy goes to her family and friends pic.twitter.com/ZHXbC1R6Wk

Pioneer, champion, Queen of the Nurburgring

Sabine Schmitz was a unique, much-loved and cherished member of our sport's family, and a force of nature for inspiring a new generation of motorsport enthusiasts

Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time pic.twitter.com/nwrLyZvXla

Very sad news for motorsport. Sabine is the queen at @nuerburgring. She always will be unreachable in the Green Hell. Seeing her races was inspirational and motivating. My deepest condolences to the family. RIP Sabine. https://t.co/fmnaEjFblq

Sabine Schmitz was an inspiration to many, she was fast, funny, and quite simply, an amazing woman. The 'Queen of the Nürburgring', taken far too soon.

Rest in peace, Sabine. 💚 https://t.co/JFijDslvMT

Schmitz also appeared on BBC’s popular motoring programme Top Gear numerous times. Both past and current presenters from the show have expressed their condolences.

Terrible news about Sabine Schmitz. Such a sunny person and so full of beans.

Rest in peace you wonderful, powerful, hilarious person. pic.twitter.com/nwXgBwZsbE

I never thought car makers should be at the ‘Ring, but I always thought Sabine Schmitz should, and would, be. Rotten news. #RIP

— James May (@MrJamesMay) March 17, 2021

Very sad to hear of the passing of Sabine Schmitz, a proper driving legend who’ll be sadly missed by many. The Ring has lost its Queen. RIP

— Richard Hammond (@RichardHammond) March 17, 2021

She gave me pointers on how to drive a Ferrari very fast and hunted me down in a banger race. Brilliantly bonkers and an amazing human being! RIP the great Sabine Schmitz. pic.twitter.com/awtbOnMD90
