    Is battling cancer...:(

    "Dear friends of well maintained motorsport
    Many of you have probably wondered why I was on the list of participants on our Porsche in the NSL and then didn't drive after all.
    I would like to provide enlightenment here, I think I owe it to my / our fans!
    Since the end of 2017, I have been fighting an extremely persistent cancer that has not been able to finish with the resources so far. It got a little better - but now he's come back with full force. Now I have to draw all the strength and registers to master the next therapies powerfully... hoping something will happen. So I say goodbye ′′ probably ′′ first for this season.
    In addition, I would like to thank everyone for their help and support in my everyday life and encouragement in written form!
    So sweethearts, now you have an update. Please stay healthy and cheerful, see you at the ring "

    Is she the driver who did hot laps of the Ring in a transit van?

    I didn't know her, but, from the videos I saw of her over the years, she was talented, enthusiastic and genuine. The sport lost a good one.

    She was Queen on the Nürburgring. She will be missed.

    I'd have loved to have gone for a ride along with her someday. :(

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I interviewed her for my Germany tour book with a Q & A about the Nurburgring. Entertaining and fun. I kept up some correspondence over the years but hadn't talked in a very long time. I knew she had cancer but thought she had this beat..very sad. A true loss..
