World Sports Car Championship Hockenheim 1985

The 1985 ADAC 1000km was the fifth round of the 1985 World Endurance Championship, took place at the Hockenheimring, West Germany on 14th July and was won by Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck in the Rothmans Porsche 962. The frenetic racing on the track was almost surpassed by the chaos in the over crowded pitlane. A garage fire is quickly contained by the mechanics despite a driver change taking place, with Derek Bell calmly sitting in the cockpit as the flames all around him are put out. A fascinating insight into the racing and dangers, on and off track, at the height of the Group C era.
