That is so sad.  She was such a skilled driver and her personality and smile made you like her even more.

Queen of the Nurburgring, article says she had over 20,000 laps of that track.

I loved her smile and infectious laugh!

That was a nice tribute by Top Gear.  Nice to see they reached out to Clarkson, Hammond, and May too.

She was an incredible driver with an infectious personality!

Yup. Just created a thread to explain what is going to replace it.
