Derek Bell + 956 @ LeMans

[Bruce]

An older video of Derek Bell in the Porsche 956 on LeMans. On the main straight he is apparently reaching 400 km/h.

Yeah, those speeds were possible before the chicanes were added to the Mulsanne Straight (back in 1990).

Those same speeds were possible back in 1970 & 1971 with this car:

Cheers for the video.

As far as I know Tiff Needell (Fifth Gear presenter) crashed on the Muslanne Straight, going 230 mph..scary stuff..

Thanks for the 917 picture

Yeah, Tiff wiped out in an Aston, I think.
