In Part 1 of this interview, Host Sue Stockdale talks to Derek Bell MBE, President of the SRCC Sports 2000 Racing Car Club, about his illustrious career, what got him interested in driving as a youngster, and some highlights from his achievements at Le Mans.

Derek Bell MBE has enjoyed one of the most successful, diverse, and wide-ranging racing careers of any British racing driver. He is best-known as the endurance sports car driver who won the Le Mans 24 Hours five times, the Daytona 24 Hours three times and the World Sports Car Championship twice.

His sports car racing career spans the Ferrari 512 and Porsche 917, the Gulf-Mirage era, Renault’s turbo effort at Le Mans, the Porsche 936, Porsche 956 and 962, the Kremer Porsche K8, the Ferrari 333 SP, and the McLaren F1. The latter earned him yet another Le Mans podium alongside his son Justin Bell in 1995.
