I'd be surprised if the in-car bits were taken on his record lap. Those were the days of bulky, heavy cameras mounted high in the cockpit. It would seem unlikely that he would have gone for pole, and achieved such an extraordinary time, carrying the camera. Also, the part when he was stuck behind Rosberg wouldn't have been on his record lap.Cheers.

Wasn't Derek Bell filmed lap for "In Car 956" something like the 4th or 5th quickest ever lap?
Yes here it is. A lap in 6:41 which still looks fairly silly.
1m40 in 'Oh, there's Jacky Ickx, he's going very fast, because he doesn't have a camera in his car...'
It's not like Bell's f
king hanging around, is it?
I saw that Derek Bell one, which made me think it unlikely there would be any in car footage of BellOFs. (oustanding video though!)
In car would obviously be the most desirable, but being that its almost certainly non-existent, I'd love to see even outside footage of either the qualifying lap or the race lap.
Amazing cars those..

Yes, one of the better driving videos I've seen and one that makes me lament the fact that there seems no available footage of Bellofs lap, for it must have been mind-blowing.
On the Derek Bell video again; is he actually talking while driving? He sounds too calm and his voice un-laboured, especially when pulling high G's.. it must be dubbed over. Though I think talking while driving is the impression you're meant to be given by the editing.
Another thing that impresses me is just how dead flat the car stays throughout, even when going over crests at incredible speed, it just stays stuck.
I know there are a millions reasons why an f1 style competition with no technological restrictions would not work, yet I can't help but wonder at what the premiere automobile engineers of today could come up with were it to become a reality... The thought of what kind of performance those cars would have (if you could still call them cars!) is very exciting.

I don't know: it always seemed very clear to me that it was dubbed. I didn't get the impression the video producers were trying to make it seem like he was narrating whilst driving.SamHH said:

He's dubbed on the ring video, but is talking his way through on others from the DVD. DVD? Well, if you don't have it already, get yourself a copy of "In-car 956" 
I never thought straight line speed was interesting till I saw Bell at well over 200mph down the Mulsanne straight! 
over 240!! I never thought straight line speed was interesting till I saw Bell at well over 200mph down the Mulsanne straight! I dont think Bellofs' lap was ever filmed in car, there may be some bits from normal cameras, but I think Bells' was the fastest in car film.
Amazing to think Bellof found 30s extra.......!!!!
Anyone got the Kyalami link?
