nerve in his ferrari right behind driving a mots. for the filter never to show he flew across the track with his helmet already missing things on straight into the safety fencing thinking the foursome from disney functorial. up the losers on the stop my car 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 product i gently pulled down his balaclava and then the doctors and helpers started arriving like so but they all.
7:32 pm
as for me 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 fit for the. april 983 california. and was competing in the riverside 6 hours race in a porsche $935.00. he had taken over from derek bell at the halfway point. to lapse later 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 the battle troon and me that you don't know about in 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 of them like this film looks at why they survived well others perished. 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 derrick bell talks to the
7:34 pm
record limo when a tom kristensen. and the englishman still cuts a fine figure in his racing overalls. and mass has been recruited by private driver nico dishing to form a team with him in goodwood. belt and muscle here because they are 2 of the big winners from what's often called the golden age of motor racing. governments with the late nicky lauder. he was one of formula one's top drivers at 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 and insurance rates specialist taking the flag at lamont 5 times. in 1971 belgrade motor racing history while copilot in one of the 3 legendary porsche 9
7:35 pm
seventeen's together with joseph it. on the long straight at lamont they reached a speed that lifted the sport to another level. $396.00 we were doing 396 kilometers to $46.00 moto our level in 71 that year. pretty quick didn't seem like it and we will go around the corner flat out all 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 kilometers and fished for for one minute completely full throttle shareware and like that for one minute because i had no speedometer so engineer norbert singha worked out how fast they. really well then he said how many reps
7:36 pm
you're pulling i said a one he said that's good and calculated and he laughed and said why are you laughing he said i just calculated your top speed and he said it's $396.00. yes they said spent a season sharing a porsche 917 with belle absent just by giving these speeds 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 would be partners for the nonce time and said to me last week in october that's years 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
7:37 pm
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 patterson. but he was with me in formula 2 you see as well so i thought i knew him really well patterson native joined the lotus team in formula one at the 1978 italian grand prix in monza he cannot hit with james hunt and crashed into the barrier his legs chatted he died the next morning. the highlight of this good with weekend is the tourist trophy or t.t. race which will feature an impressive the ray of ac cobras and jaguar. classic cars operated strictly manually with no elect. onic support.
7:38 pm
justin months 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. because in heaven 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 le monde. the pace they set down the longwood sun strace has never been matched since. before dear 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 but it isn't a problem if you have a good car it's the work i will blame when i want to go to sleep. but there was one
7:39 pm
thing the drivers were really afraid of. horses a car you 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 if that speed jumbo jets can take off everything does all this. money spent on to triumph at lamont in $989.00 together with money in stanley dickens. but that's here too so it's share of incidents the man is one of the deadliest races in the motor sports world costing the lives of 21 drivers today. must have 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 with the race is hugely prestigious which is why you can't have a. it is. easier in 1981 it was
7:40 pm
a race briefing at the drivers hotel in amman must have a slept. good morning. good morning sleep well. yeah but nobody walked me up. by either c.-r. your every year someone would dial every year before we had the 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 1981 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
7:41 pm
bell together with jackie. the deadly crash did not appear to dampen the celebrations. i think there were 2 ways to look at it one was i didn't know the drivers well if that means anything they were close friends they became it later well those that die didn't you know that's the way it was on the butt but racing was like that. back at goodwood the oldest living formula one champion jackie stewart dunces racing the. steel had won the driver's title 3 times between 969 and 73 but you could say the flying scotsman greatest achievement of all was having survived. you know my triumph moderation was dangerous and check to see the strange sixty's in the seventy's. the heyday. and
7:42 pm
which death and glory became an increasingly frequent monster. among them was stewart's close friend justin didn't killed in 970 before being posed to miss the crown champion power as i have my money for lunch. he counted 50 shot he thought i would hit friendly with him or she was all i did with trouble with. the. kid. well north of course they never stop the rage when you use courage the guy would never stop the leash up if you we were driving through the fuel rods you're pushing the same thing you never stores a race the organizers never stop. but you williamson lost his life
7:43 pm
at the 973 dead scrum pre senator driver david hurley tried desperately to turn the car back over but williamson died in the flames. the race was won by jackie stewart probably the saddest victory of his career. we got your gorgeous journal for we've been together for a test flight. if you're still here but. just in mass winds up for the t.t. race at goodwood which includes practicing the drivers which was nico did take. a hit him hey why all the likes of bells to us and him still with us bus. so many hear this on months.
7:44 pm
they certainly all had close encounters with death in derek bell's case it was the 1000th you know mrs of spa in 970. back then because we refueled by hand open topped funnels. filled gasoline likely from jackie it's just floated on the pitch names and seconds later bells ferrari was on the front. yellow for already 512 1st time i've ever seen that cough estimate ever seen. and 3 times when they refueled it i remember i started out in the car and turned the key and it brought a horse to light so i got out and i got back in again having put the far out there
7:45 pm
3 times 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. $982.00 at the french grand prix in the custody. crash involving motor ball the and just the mom left the form a sign to my mind while the lasses cone flew into the crowd. this way to hide i could feel the heat behind 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 by and. that's what i do thank god i fell the right way up if i'd been upside down i would have died. and fortunately there was still with fire extinguishers right close by as was argued it was so wonderfully. cool in that moment such
7:46 pm
a massive relief it was a lifestyle report for 2 thankfully outside also gave us enough time to cut me free from the mess of wire fencing. that i was called. because it does your back that i survived that without any major injuries was a miracle. sometimes fortune smiled on derrick bell and he often months but knock was not the only factor in their survival. they made the right mistakes than some of the drawings. they didn't push their luck as often as others did. to get it. in 1975 didn't t.v. broadcast a portrait of then up and coming formula one driver your one must stand as he entered this modern gladiatorial arena unlike some other comics he did not dismiss
7:47 pm
the dangers involved in the arts there are 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 to us 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 if you are but as for that you put those thoughts out your mind and forget them which is only natural for this. young man's love the life of a racing driver too much to take unnecessary risks. seem. to have a hand up because there are some races i refused but i'd say drive the car yourself john surtees 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 did. hit anything john and
7:48 pm
i drive it hard i'm not going to i'm not some guinea pig are you going to congress was going to. this 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 what can still end in the u.s. for reasons unknown the car plunged into a guardrail killing the driver. to face a crash. in the strait 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 as we've been good friends you know the good before and as well and during qualifying for the 982 belgian grand prix she is in the 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
7:49 pm
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 the only she'll want to do another fast lap although we'd already done wonderful and that meant taking risks using is obviously going to go. with your mileage and then afterwards everyone told me you off and it wasn't your fault it was only a matter of time before it happened british paper because he was overdoing it so you got to be. the crash that claimed the life of rolf stallman then in riverside california was likewise no coincidence it was caused by driver error to the german took over duties in the force in 935 from derek bell. if you got me a brand new. so i went out the track was always
7:50 pm
a little slippery because it was there was saddened and i think he slid off and i know he stood up and he bounced over the bumps because only about high passed over the bumps and probably fractured something in the aerodynamics. and mass and bellowing to survive is they've changed a bit since they were filming the 2 rivals the 973. for his their shared history on the track also includes another man who had a different approach to motor racing. 198384 derek bell was the co-driver of stephanie bennett off in the sports car championship. i mean he was a super kid i mean he would call it you know i'd call him father and i'd call him son and he called me father and i go i really really liked him he was such
7:51 pm
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 ok i get it 1st and then on his 1st lap he was off toward the toxic water 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 1985 fellow for sharing a car with t.n.t. flutes and that's gone he was in hot pursuit of jackie exploited by you. this is the onboard camera from x. has come. through the muscles have been there some of the nose to tail 1st to 2nd
7:52 pm
place in the entry to the new tourist own. it's suddenly spins off then off we not steam while trying to overtake unseen slamming into the barrier. again using ideas he took risks that were reckless towards others and himself. i still sometimes hear young people mentioning his conspiracy theory that jackie skidded on to her business and whatever and i tell them that's nonsense why on earth would jackie do that or get us to. just. show you off and muss is also at the scene to me it doesn't look good. but he's still alive. yes there's a basically the. bones and the front of the car was bent down you could just tell that it was over both of those for bible.
7:53 pm
and i always just read i felt so bad that i didn't try and can see ask him to go a little slower or control should have sat him down and said look you're doing some wonderful last time so you're really really quick. but you know you you've got to you've got to stop thinking for a bit further up the road. it's the sort of accident that happens when you don't drive with enough respect. you have to approach things differently and take care of the racing 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 potion i know full together with co-driver dave clark.
7:54 pm
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 last 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 a marriage serious you want to buy your back here and. we are shit right. now it's action stations for your finance switching drivers doesn't go as smoothly as a few decades ago. but once he's in position there's no stopping him.
7:55 pm
mass fares better in his car then derek bell and reels in one competitor after the next as he rolls back that he is. he just left times around a 2nd faster than his younger team partner. the often made up 2 or 3 places he's just overtaking a cobra he's really stepping on it it's good. he crosses the line in 13 after starting in 20 seconds at. good days. down a little before i still drive because it still comes pretty easy to me little boy when you notice that you're starting to make mistakes you're finding it difficult then it's time to quit sure you're both or most of whom we washed up the way you
7:56 pm
know i don't i just love it i just love driving beautiful cars and i'm very lucky to get the opportunity. just. fell 2 men who saw triumph and tragedy in the false lane and lived to tell the tale. locked up.
