Porsche 956 at Fuji Speedway

[stenovitz]

Now look at the drivers constant trouble of controlling the P956. And this is on a clean and easy Fuji track. One just have to imagine the work of Stefan Bellof inside the P956 at the Nordschleife...!

Derek Bell is a living legend!

[lfstweak420]

Is that Derek Bell?

[mitchdfla]

@lfstweak420 Sure sounds like Derek Bell. Great driver. Met him at Daytona 24 one year. Very nice guy, too

Old Fuji is a track I wish I was around for - but imagine how insane it would've been for the Group C prototypes to use the banking! That would've been absolutely breathtaking.

There is footage of sportscars on the old Fuji in 1969 on Youtube, featuring a Porsche 917! The old circuit was unbelievably fast.

[csampang1]

Actually, I think it was a Japanese sportscar of some sort and not a 917, though in that vein. Still pretty to watch.

[NicholasBird]

Trust me it is a 917.

[420Vali]

@NicholasBird Lmao does a 917 have a turbo? and he references the "old circuit" which would have been used back in 1969 when the 917 was prominent.

Impressive...most impressive....young skywalker...no wait! Great footage:)

That is what you call a driver's track. Nice Power slide at 3:51, keeping the hammer down while a 650HP beast strapped to your back wants to throw you off the road

[Tatziii]

This old version of the track is fast, great video and nice to see "mr Bellof" passing. :D

[jiggy07wiggy]

it really looks like gran turismo! and mr bellof makes an appearance at 5.02.

[Jyllenberg]

Old Fuji rocks, new Fuji sucks!

[vonwegen100]

A-M-E-N! I absolutely HATE the new Fuji layout--bring back the old one!
