The short life of one of the greatest pilots ever.

For a few brief years Stefan Bellofs star shone very brightly indeed. The young German was near unbeatable in sports car racing and was rumoured to have a Formula 1 offer from Ferrari on the table. Unfortunately, Bellofs Grand Prix career amounted to just 20 races with Tyrrell before his death in a Porsche 956 Group C car at Spa-Francorchamps.

  • ‘Stefan was amazing. I must never take away what he did. That was uninhibited youth. He was flying, completely in control of what he was doing, although he was a bit out of control in his mind, charming and lovely kid as he was. I always felt he needed someone to control him. He was a wonderful talent and he needed to be nurtured, he needed to be controlled – and he would have been magnificent.’

    you might be right, but every driver has its time. I just quotet some experts :)

    you know - I worked with Klaus Bishop, his mentor. At this time I did not really knew much about Bellof

  • @peak900 I don't think that Vettel would be able to beat Stefan. There's only 2 guys on top of the hill, being Bellof and Senna.

  • I saw the accident live on TV!!

    It still makes me sad until today, when i see this pictures!!

    Very,very sad!!!

    RIP Stefan, du warst der Beste!!!

    Denke noch immer oft an dich!!

    Gone but never forget!!!

  • Does anyone know what's the story? Could someone sum this up to me, please?

  • subtitles please

  • Amazing pilot Bellof was. I can't even get 6:11 in the upgraded 962 on Forza, let alone real life.
