Female Race Car Driver, Sabine Schmitz, has been announced as a new addition to the TV Show, Top Gear. She is the first female presenter to be added to the show cast in 15 years!
BBC stated that viewers can expect the new team to “cover the entire automotive spectrum and bring with them their own unique and very individual love of cars that will resonate with every type of Top Gear viewer, from the family who enjoy the entertainment values of the show, to aspirational car lovers and fanatical petrolheads.”
Sabine Schmitz is a German race car drive that was previously a featured guest on the show. Joining the new Top Gear line-up she follows previous female presenters: Kate Humble, Angela Rippon and Vicki Butler-Henderson, who all were previous presenters for the original Top Gear before the show was revamped in 2002.
“I grew up next to the Nürburgring and have been racing for most of my life, so the chance to combine both driving and filming was too good an opportunity to pass up,” Sabine Schmitz stated in an interview,”I’ve appeared on Top Gear a few times in the past, so I know we’re going to have a lot of fun.”
