On this day 43 years ago a generational talent took his Rothmans Porsche 956 round the Nordschleife in 6:11:13.
Faster than any ICE car before and since, holding the Nordschleife ICE record to this day.
An important note compared to recent prepared and focussed attempts in optimal conditions is that Bellof never planned to do this record, it just "happened" during an open qualifying session with other traffic.
What an experience it must have been for anyone who was there that day.

Un 28 de mayo de 1983, Stefan Bellof a los mandos de un Porsche 956K, chasis 007, marcaba una vuelta de 6:11:13 al Nürburgring Nordschleife. El verdadero récord. Ese día, lo que hizo Bellof no fue de este mundo.
