Curiously, those were the last three left alive in the (inferior) director's cut of the movie, with Parker (Kotto's character) dying just before Lambert. Death imitating art. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Week 12 update One death this week, racing driver and television presenter Sabine Schmitz: Sabine Schmitz: Former racing driver and Top Gear presenter dies aged 51 - BBC Sport Quote Former Top Gear presenter Sabine Schmitz - famous for being the only woman to win the Nurburgring 24 Hours - has died aged 51. Schmitz said last year that she had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. Schmitz had become synonymous with the Nurburgring Nordschleife, the 14-mile circuit in Germany that is renowned as the toughest in the world. She won the 24-hour touring car race at the track twice, in 1996 and 1997, driving a BMW M3. She became known as the "Queen of the Nurburgring" and estimated she had driven around the track more than 20,000 times. Schmitz later gained acclaim for an appearance on Top Gear in 2004 in which she drove a van around the track, and subsequently became a presenter on the show alongside Chris Evans in 2016. This Sunday's episode of Top Gear will be dedicated to Schmitz, with Clare Pizey, executive producer, saying: "Sabine was a beloved member of the Top Gear family and presenting team since 2016, having first appeared on the show in 2004, and everyone who had the pleasure of working with her on the team is in shock at this news. There's footage of the 1997 Nurburgring 24 hours on youtube: and since I watch a lot of motorsport and sim racing stuff on youtube I've inevitably had this in my recommendations for the past few days: She seemed like a good laugh and could drive really well. There are probably worse legacies to leave behind. Schmitz died at 51, so she's worth 74 Base Points. She was a Solo Shot for @Ned Nederlander for an extra 50 and a total of 124 points.
