Derek Bell | Driving for Ferrari

Derek Bell shares his vivid memories of his time at Ferrari, which began when he caught the eye of Enzo Ferrari as a young F2 driver in 1968 and soon found himself touring Maranello and having lunch with the Commendatore. But in a case of being in the right place at the wrong time, Bell describes being the victim of a pared-back Ferrari race programme. He turned to sports cars, where once more he was seen by Enzo, in a privately-entered Ferrari 512. Another call from Maranello saw him line up for his first Le Mans race in 1970. And the rest is glorious history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
