Derek Bell's Group C memories
He was twice a world sportscar champion, won five Le Mans 24 Hours, and has just guest-edited AUTOSPORT's Group C celebration issue. Now Derek Bell picks out his favourite moments
When second means more than first:
1983 Le Mans 24 Hours
I'm always being asked to name the most memorable of my five Le Mans victories, and I don't have an answer.
The 24 Hours I remember is one I didn't win. Le Mans '83 is probably the most memorable because it was so close - and dramatic - at the finish. The other one, for the record, is '95 when I got to stand on the podium together with my son Justin after finishing third in the Harrods McLaren.
