    As the title says. Racing driver at the Frikadelli Racing Team (Porsche 911 GT3-R) and "Queen of the Ring" Sabine Schmitz, who died from cancer in March this year, now gets honored with her own corner on the Nordschleife.

    It will be the first corner (left hander) on the Nordschleife after you left the GP course. She grew up only a few meters behind the bushes of this corner.

    The official name induction ceremony will be held at the 6h NLS (former VLN) race on September 11th.

    In her long career she made 30.000(!) laps around the Nordschleife.

    Farewell Sabine, you will always be remembered!
