If you find the videos on here from 1950s & early '60s races you will find the course was much better then. The current course is from a later era where they turned straights into esses & added chicanes to slow them down. They also trimmed off & flattened mounds where the cars once got airborne. And whoever made the decision to do away with the original start/finish/pit area with it's ultra-fast, side by side, opposite direction straightaways, should be locked for life in a mental institution.

Welcome to Porsche! I have worked on them since 1972. See the Evo car on the same track video! The movie is not sped up, the car is fast. Porsche was involved in aviation and military designs in his early career. See his history, from a time when everything was new. No computers or CAD, all slide rule, talent and concept men. There were so many brilliant designers and concept men in his time, too many to list. Each Furman Carrera 4 cam engine, a masterpiece of engineering, took a master mechanic 150 hours to build one engine at the factory. TLC, all by hand. The G50 964/993 transmission was by far a beautiful, functional, high quality brilliant design for the street cars and was my favorite. Porsche patented tortion bar suspension, synchromesh in transmissions. I am a Porsche Master Technician 1995' and also a licensed aviation mechanic. The Hindenberg Zeppelin used Maybach Diesel engines, taking the contract from Mercedes. The engineers designed exhaust gas through an exhaust gas condensation radiator to take on water to exactly balance fuel burned maintaining a weight and balance that was nearly perfect.

Well Derek from Scotland, , it's privilege to see you race! Thankyou Colin Runciman.

956! Fantastic car. Derek Bell! What an all round top bloke. Nurburgring! Most dramatic track in the world. All three! Heaven. Loved how some of the track seemed to come back to him and he really seemed to be getting into the groove.

Between Karussell and the mini Karussell it looks like he starts to get muscle memory back from deep in his brain and it all starts to be more fluid and faster. Kudos Derek and RIP Stefan. 2 great drivers.

Reading MotorSport magazine once, I will never forget Derek Bell describing what it was like at over 200MPH whilst it was 'Raining Stair-Rods'. I still wonder what this must have been like... but as the driver of a Renault Scenic, I don't suppose I will ever find out!

Derek Bell, one of the nicest guys you can ever meet.

It must be difficult for a driver to keep his professionalism while driving. To see all those people at Brunnchen, and know every eye was upon you it would be difficult not to fall prey to the moment and lose concentration. I read a quote from Jackie Stewart where he would recite a sort of mantra to prepare before the race, "No sense of occasion, no sense of occasion." To remind himself to stay professional and concentrate upon the driving and not upon the excitement of the spectacle.

I have the original video of Derek Bell narrating as he's flying around the track. Unfortunately I haven't updated it to a DVD. It also looks like Bell is just cruising here, I believe because the 956 shown here has just been restored, and it would have been rude to rack it up on one of the turns.

I think this is the best driving I have seen, he makes it look easy and not fast what a driver, I bet he thinks there are other drivers who are faster. I have watched him all through his career,it now seems quite obvious, why sadly so many have died over the years and he’s still this good, I would say another Brian redman? Thanks. John h

I went to a Porsche driving school with Derek Bell back in 1988. I have the signed certificate they framed on my wall today.

Das ständige Umschneiden auf den Fahrer verdirbt alles!

For quite a while YT had a 1983 onboard video of Bell in his 956 at the Nordschleife, with his excellent over-dubbed commentary describing the entire circuit: gear changes, speed, racing line strategy, track surface nuances, etc. Though not a flying lap, he's tearing it up. (Bellof's car is seen leaving the pits at video's beginning; I'm pretty sure this is the same qualifying session in which he set the record.) Now, however, I can't find this video. If anyone has seen it recently, please post the link. It's spectacular. Thanks.
