Derek Bell reunites with a Porsche 956 at the Ring

As part of the formalities for the naming of the Stefan-Bellof-S corner Porsche legend Derek Bell was on hand to drive the 956.007 around the Nürburgring. A teaser video has been posted to Facebook, with the promise of more to come.

In the meantime, why not check out the video after the break where Bell talks us through a lap of the Nordschleife filmed during practice for the 1983 1000km race. Incidentally, the lap time from Bell was 6:37, some time off Bellof’s 6:11 record, but it is believed to be the fastest full lap recorded on camera.
