A journey through time with motorsport legend Derek Bell

In the second episode of the ‘Porsche Top 5’ YouTube series, former racing driver #derekbell takes a journey through time to explore five decades of sports car history.

Derek Bell’s journey begins at Le Mans – or, more precisely, with the GT1: it was with this car that #porsche was able to achieve a successful comeback in the long-distance race at the Sarthe in 1998. It’s no wonder, then, that it holds a special place in the heart of the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. In fourth place is the #porsche 904 Carrera GTS – a private vehicle belonging to Ferdinand Alexander #porsche.

With the 917 KH, Bell also presents the first overall winner of Le Mans. It is not only the sports car’s huge performance values that are impressive: Derek also casts his mind back to a conversation with Norbert Singer. Taking second place, and Bell’s personal favourite, is the #porsche 962 C– bearing his name on the chassis. Bell knows every last detail of the car, and beautifully describes its special technical features, such as the ground effect.
