Stefan Bellof's incredible Nurburgring Lap | 6 mins 11.13secs | World Sportscar 1983

Stefan Bellof was a truly special talent with raw speed on tap, especially behind the wheel of his Rothmans Porsche 956 "Group C" car.

Following an impressive win in the second round of the 1983 World Sportscar Championship at Silverstone, Stefan went on to produce a stunning qualifying lap time at the Nurburgring (Round 3) and to the astonishment of his fellow drivers, he'd clocked 6 mins 11.13 seconds around the Nordschleife circuit at an average speed of over 200 kph!

    One of Derek Bell's life regrets is that he didn't say more to Stefan about tempering his aggressive driving style. "Be more careful".

    Huge talent, we'll never know what he would have done in F1, but i'm sure he would be one of the top.

    It's a record that will never be broken. It's stands as the lap record for a legal regulation car in a race weekend. The 919 EVO had to be built without rules, hotlap outside a race weekend, and dealt with no traffic to break the record. The records stands for as long as until the WEC allows for LMP2 or LMP1s to run the Nordschleife and only the Nordschleife and not the 24HR layout that combines part of the GP circuit.

    The boost was clearly set up to kill mode on his lap.

    Absolutely amazing. Such a loss. I so wish I could have seen him perform. Endurance racing is so much more interesting than F1.

    What a Legend. The Greatest to ever live? Certainly one of. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of him in F1.

    This is the one and only Nürburgring Record. The whole Timo Bernhard/Porsche thing is nice and all, a great tribute to our advances in technology and Bernhard is certainly a talented driver also.

    That little smirk on his engineers face is pure respect for what they all witnessed.
