i got my view from the politics of flash from the world's top this is what. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend on d w. it's i. saw as i saw as big eyes and i knew he was sadly no longer with us at the end of it when you get to our age you have to think about why why are we one of the chosen few that battled through. maybe a 1982 qualifying for the belgian grand prix at this old. sheet of the

nerve in his ferrari right behind you driving a months. for the filter never to show he flew across the track with his helmet already missing things on straight into the safety fencing thinking you force me from disney functoid. up the losers on the stop my car and ran over saws on the go and then i saw his big eyes and i knew he was sadly no longer with us a broken neck and it was awful i could. probably polak i gently pulled down his balaclava and then the doctors and helpers started arriving. but they all.

i knew his family his kids before that we've been friends in monaco we lived pretty close to each other. and it was just her all through to the. april 983 california. and was confusing in the riverside 6 i was raised in a porsche 935. he had taken over from derek bell at the halfway point. to last late he had a concrete wall and on. the end of it when you get to our age you have to think about why why are we one of the chosen

few that battle truly in the name that you don't know about decades later maz and belle are among the big stars of a high profile motor racing festival in southern england. moss is now in his mid seventy's while belle is pushing 80 and both are still driving like normal this film looks at why they survived well others perished. in the elite to the finish line it makes me. sick of all the bible events celebrates the circuit's glory days in the 1950 s. and sixty's entry is limited to vintage cars and bikes that competed in the era many of them worth several 1000000 euros. but not everyone who has the money to afford such a vehicle has the skills to drive it. and that's where the legends of yesteryear come in. here derek bell talks to the

record limo when a tom kristensen. and the englishman still cuts a fine figure in his racing overalls. and mass has been recruited by a private drive and he could dishing to form a team with him in goodwood. belt and muscle here because they are 2 of the big women is from what's often called the golden age of motor racing. with the late nicky lauder. he was one of formula one's top drive is that the time for 2 seasons forming a fruitful partnership with james hunt for mclaren. derek bell competed in formula one for ferrari and other teams but was primarily an insurance race specialist taking the flag at limone 5 times. in 1971 belgrade motor racing history while copilot in one of the 3 legends reported 9

seventeen's together with you i was different. on the long straight at limone they reached a speed that lifted the sport to another level. $396.00 we were doing 396 kilometers to $46.00 moto our level uncertain she won that year. pretty quick didn't say market we will go around the corner flat out on the way down there's not straight away there's a very severe corner but somehow the car just went round pedal to the metal for a full 7 kilometer. and fish gear for for one minute completely full throttle so i was. like that for one minute because i had noticed the damages so engineer norbert singha worked out how fast they were. really well then he said how many revs you're
1:36 am
calling i said a one he said that's good and calculated and they laughed and said why you're laughing he said i just calculated your top speed and he said it's 396. joseph spent a season sharing a porsche 917 with belle observation by giving the speech aren't you sometimes scared of your own fearlessness. you know if you're scared you may as well quit racing and started almost 104 we did you know i guess we probably did 5 races together and we won one of them when we were 2nd a couple of times in $2971.00 the 2 drive is with the partners for the last time and said to me on the street in october that he is if it was dead killed when his formula one car crashed at brands hatch and. we hated it and it and i must admit i didn't sleep well at night and i was always desperately nervous
1:37 am
the night before a race i mean drivers really were worried i mean you see some drivers faces they were white before the race with anxiety. the previous year bell had shared his ferrari $512.00 cockpit at lamar with swedish driver ronnie pettersen. but he was with me in formula 2 you see as well so i knew him really well that is something native joined the lotus team in formula one at the 1978 italian grand prix in monza he collided with james hunt and crashed into the barriers his legs shattered he died the next morning. the highlights of this goodwood weekend is the tourist trophy or t.t. race which will feature an impressive the ray of ac cobras and jaguar he types. classic cars operated strictly manually with no elect. nick support.
1:38 am
justin must is here at the request of nikolaus duty with him he'll be sharing driver duties in the $62.00 each time for a feat of course. just as i was because even when you look at everything he's seen and driven to not many people in the world can match it i'd say. mass also made his mark on most of sports history. in 1989 he was a member of the zambonis a d.c. 9 team at lamont. the pace they set down the long was sun strace has never been matched syd's. before here that's one thing we did for 20 training if you know it's 120 is a decent speed on a french country road i used to joke to myself before machine before but it isn't a problem if you have a good car it's the work i blame a lot of voters. but there was one thing the drivers were really afraid of.
1:39 am
your suzuki don't want a flat tire because then things get tricky if you suddenly get rear tire damage in the car lowers a bit there as you get air coming up under the car and it that speed jumbo jets can take off everything does alice. mass went on to triumph at limahl in the 1989 together with money in stanley dickens. but that year 2 saw its share of incidents the mark is one of the deadliest races in the motor sports world costing the lives of 21 drivers today. last had also been critical of conditions at the mall and even said as much the year he won. because he said this race in its current form shouldn't really be taking place but there's a huge pressure to compete here in the race is hugely prestigious which is why you can't. it is. easy in 1981 there was
1:40 am
a race briefing at the drivers hotel in amman must have a select. good morning. good morning sleep well. yeah but nobody woke me up. by either c.-r. every year someone would dial every year before i would have a briefing on friday and when i was at the front i would turn around to look back and wonder who will it be this time hopefully not me hopefully nobody. in 981 it was. hit a guardrail at 350 kilometers per hour. the impact left the driver dead and 2 race marshal seriously injured another marshal was killed in a separate accident but the race continued. and was won by derek
1:41 am
bell together with jackie x. the deadly crash did not appear to dampen the celebrations. i think there were 2 is to look at it one was i didn't know the drivers well if that means anything they were close friends they became it late so all those that die did you know that's the way it was up there but that racing was like that. that good would the oldest living formula one champion jackie stewart dunces racing the . misty would won the driver's title 3 times between 969 and 73 but you could say the flying scotsman greatest achievement of both was having survived. my triumph moderation was dangerous and check to see the swinging sixty's in the seventy's. the heyday. and
1:42 am
which death and glory became increasingly frequent mossad. among them was still woods close friend clinton's killed in 970 before being posthumously crowned champion power as. my wife once. she counted 50 shopkeepers. i would hear friendly with him or she will talk politics with trouble for the. future. well north vision of course they never stop the rage when you use courage to die we never stopped at least a few we were driving through the fuel rods your machine changed we never stopped rationing organizers never stopped. but you williamson lost his life
1:43 am
at the 973 dead scrum pre sen dr david hurley tried desperately to turn the car back of that but williamson died in the flames. the race was won by jackie stewart probably the saddest victory of his career. we've got used to gorgeous journal i've probably been to force it was very nasty i know. it was just a bit but. that. doesn't months wombs up for the t.t. race at goodwood which includes practicing the drive to switch with nico a distinct. feeling. if. while the likes of belles do us and him still with us also. this.
1:44 am
they certainly all had close encounters with death in derek bell's case it was the 1000 konami says that spot in 970. back then consummate refuelled by hand by a open topped finals. filled gasoline likely from jackie it's as calm floated on the pitch names and seconds later bells ferrari was on the fun. yellow for ari 512 1st time i've ever seen that cough estimate i've seen. and 3 times maybe fielded i remember i saw george in the car and turned the key in the book a horse a light so i got out then i got back in again having put the far out there 3 times
1:45 am
in the final time i didn't get back in i literally put my foot inside the door and turned the key like that but by then i had singed my eyebrows they were both. 1982 at the french grown 3 in the cast in a. crash involving motor ball the and the most left the form is sidelined while the last is come into the crowd. is what a high i could feel the heat hind me everything was on fire and i knew it could get nasty if they could get me out of the car soon then i probably would have died of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen that's normally what happens before you burn to death for brands. but that's what i do thank god i fell the right way up if i didn't upside down i would have died. and fortunately there was still with fire extinguishers right close by as was argued it was so wonderfully. all in that moment such
1:46 am
a massive relief it was a lifestyle report for 2 thankfully retired also gave us enough time to cut me free from the mess of wire fencing. that i was called. because it doesn't go back that i survived that without any major injuries was a miracle. sometimes fortune smiled on derek bell and he often months but knock was not the only factor in this some of them. they made the were mistakes then some of the drawings. they didn't push their luck as often as others did have to get it. back in 1975 german t.v. broadcast a portrait of then up and coming formula one driver johan must ans as he entered this modern gladiatorial arena unlike some other colleagues he did not dismiss the
1:47 am
dangers involved. the arts there's still times when i feel fear is the it's more a realisation of the danger that you might be exposing yourself to them as it goes it's sometimes i wake up or rather i emerge from my daydreams and think am i really doing the right thing because it was too obvious for that you put those thoughts and your mind in forget them which is only natural it was. just a monster love the life of a racing driver too much to take on this is their interests to see. that end up because of some races i refused but i'd say drive the car yourself. in the monaco grand prix which of course every driver was proud to race. as it was my 1st time there in every training session something fell off my car coming down the straight part of the back axle broke in the car stopped right in the pit lane john said what did you hit and i said i didn't. hit anything john 9 if you drive it hard
1:48 am
i'm not going to if i'm not some guinea pig are you going to congress was going to . the safety concerns prompted mass to quit the city's team soon afterwards in his 2nd race after replacing mass him with clinic came off the track in watkins glen in the u.s. for reasons unknown the car plunged into a guardrail killing the driver. to face a crash of nerves in the straits of the additional danger of dr is pushing themselves and their cones to the limits. as well it was extremely difficult dealing with that over the years says it was we'd been good friends and it was a good performance on during qualifying for the 982 belgian grand prix she is a nurse pulled out all the stops to secure pole position and head of his teammate and rival d.a.p. rony. you saw that i saw the ferrari come up in my rearview mirror 2nd half he was
1:49 am
annoyed because peroni was quicker than him. and we had these tires that were ideal for a fast lap i just didn't want to. avoid she'll want to do another fast lap although we'd already done wonderful and that meant taking risks using isn't easy going to go. for your mile and then afterwards everyone told me ya and it wasn't your fault and it was only a matter of time before it happened to discredit because he was overdoing it so you got to be. the crash that claimed the life of rolf stallman in riverside california was likewise no coincidence it was caused by driver error alter the german took over duties in the force and 935 from derrick bell. if you got me i brought a new. so i went out the track was always
1:50 am
a little slippery because it was it was sad and and i think he slid off and i know he stood up and he bounced over the bumps because i knew that high over the bumps and probably fractured something in the evidence that makes. any mass and. to survive is they've changed a bit since they were formula 2 rivals the 973. they shared history on the track also includes another man who had a different approach to motor racing. in 198384 derrick bell was the co-driver of stefan beloff in the sports car championship. but i mean he was a super kid i mean he would call it god call him father and i'd call him son and he called me father and i go i really really like him he was such
1:51 am
a nice easy going guy believed he was really quick and a really popular driver it was a nice guy always laughing. but he didn't have enough respect dogs by one time we were on the new ring for the last 1000 kilometer race at the plants got my car left the ground briefly but it worked out ok but when i came into pit i had the chance to talk to him i say watch out you might take off back there he looked at me as if he felt sorry for me and said to me ok i get it and then on his 1st lap he was off . and nobody was coaching him he needed a coach you need somebody to say you're going too fast too quickly you need to start to learn the corners adapt yourself and then everything will be falling. in 985 below for sharing a car with t.n.t. flutes and that's why he was in hot pursuit of jackie exploited by. this this is the onboard camera from x. has come. through the muscles have been there salute the nose to tail 1st to 2nd
1:52 am
place in the entry to the new tourist own. it suddenly spins off then off me natch him while trying to overtake is seen slamming into the barrier. to. begin using ideas he took risks that were reckless towards others and himself. i still sometimes hear young people mentioning his conspiracy theory that jackie excluded on her business and whatever and i tell them that's nonsense why on earth would jackie do that or get us to. do often muss is also at the scene it doesn't look good. but he's still alive. yes there's 2 basically the impact zone and the front of the car was bent down you could just tell that it was over those things for bible.
1:53 am
and i always just i felt so bad that i didn't try and can see ask him to go a little slower or control should have set him down and said look you're doing some wonderful lap time so you're really really quick but you know you you've got to you've got to stop thinking further up the road. it's the sort of accident that happens when you don't drive with enough respect to. this you have to approach things differently and take care of this is dangerous. and then if you overdo it and tell yourself it will be ok that's not good. they scored. the highlights of the goodwood revival weekend the t.t. race is approaching. derek bell will be at the wheel of a porsche 9 a full together with co-driver dave clark. the.
1:54 am
bell will go 1st albeit from the back of the grid qualifying didn't go too well. he struggles to catch up and loses further ground with every lap he's in last position as he hands over to his partner either pushes too slow or derrick bell is starting to show his age when you're in their experience you want to buy your back aaron. we are sure we. know it's action stations for you often must switching drivers doesn't go as smoothly as a few decades ago. but once he's in position there's no stopping him.
1:55 am
mask 1st better in his car then derek bell and reels in one competitor after the next as he rolls back but he is. he fell flat times around a 2nd faster than his younger team partner. you often made up 2 or 3 places he's just overtaken a cobra he's really stepping on it it's good. he crosses the line in 13 after starting in 22nd at. good day's luck. tried out a little before i still drive because it still comes pretty easy to me a little boy when you notice that you're starting to make mistakes you know finding it difficult then it's time to quit sure you're both or most of whom we washed up
1:56 am
the way you know i don't i just love it i just love driving beautiful cars so i'm very lucky to get the opportunity. derek bell to many who saw triumph and tragedy in the false lane and lived to tell the tale. mocked.
