The sheer amount of talent witnessed in that 10 minutes was astounding.

Old "Bus stop" was simply G R E A T ! ! ! Bring it BACK !

Outstanding!! No Traction Control, no Power Steering, no ABS. Just real racing drivers driving real race cars on a real circuit. Bravo

I have never seen an onboard video this good from the 80s. Super cool!

I do believe THIS is my all time favorite “onboard” video! And that’s including all my favorite Senna onboard videos! This has to be the most intense, raw and just pure onboard racing video ever recorded. Oh! And none of that crappy “wide angle lenses” stuff. THIS is what these turns and speeds really look like from the drivers perspective!

I love that you can hear the tires squealing in the audio. Can't hear that in most racing videos!

I thought I was going to die at 8:00 through Eau Rouge. Always an epic track.

5:47 Are you shitting me. Those were crazy times and these dudes had huge balls, dancing with death every time they got into their cars. If this is Jochen Mass then huge respect to him, crazy stuff.

The way he takes Eau Rouge is insane

MENTAL! Jochen Mass is a Legendary Legend! On-It!

Wonderful!!! Eau Rouge taken this way with the squeeling tyres is astonishing!!!

Wicked.... I actually found myself leaning into the turns ! 😎

jochen mass and porsche 962 , two of the greatest things to ever grace a racetrack . what a couple of absolute legends

No wonder the FIA stopped these sports cars from continuing into the 90s, they were as good or even better than the Formula One at the time. And Formula One couldn’t have that. This is the way racing should be today

Even in 2019, still Amazing, thank you for sharing

The Lancia LC2 was clearly faster,but lacked reliability.On the other hand the Porsche 956,and the later safety-upgraded 962C were the enduring ones. These cars make today's F1 races look like the Wacky Races!

This popped up so often in my YT suggestions that I finally had to watch it.... hooray for normal angle lenses for in-car camera shots!!The sense of speed is phenomenal and way more relateable than most of today's wide angle shots. I could almost feel the lateral forces when watching this!

Most fun i've had in a while. Ten tenths and tires talkin back and, oh my, eau rouge!!! Jochen Mass is now on my list. Never saw this till now, awsome! Thanx!

Jesus, this has been the Time, when the skill and performance of a driver has count most. Love it

The 80s-90s in all motorsport was insane. Limits where found in f1 endurance rally etc . Lives lost like at this race but amazing machines and races

Forget modern LMP or F1 - This is what racing should look like. Every second of this was exciting as hell. Skating through Eau Rouge like the car is on ice, frying the tyres out of half the corners as the turbos spool, throwing the car through tight chicanes like it's kart racing! These cars were absolute monsters, and the drivers had to fight to control them. I would rather watch group C any day over any modern circuit racing.

Every now and then I just come back and watch this video. Some of the best on board ever.

That Martini Lancia is quick.

No fuss, no drama, just damn good driving.

This was when men drove the car's NOT computer's. This is PURE talent!!!

Spa was INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL in '85 what a good time it should have been!! God bless Stefan Bellof

Outstanding video, who would have thought that the day would get so dark within a few hours...

2:45 I think even people who rate themselves as racing fans would not be able to appreciate how breathtaking and dangerous this driving is, I'm speechless

It really takes an exceptional and lucky person to be successful at winning races in the sport back then and not die from it. All of these guys were tremendous athletes.

I'm stunned...... it's for me not possible to understand how fast these cars where...and Stefan was maybe the most talented driver ever.... i can watch this over and over and still be just as stunned every lap.... the speed trough the bus stop is........well i have no words....thank you God that i found this video

insane - and no paddle shift BS! Mass was a fantastic driver, the way he wrestles with the car, shifting with the right hand - and what a beast of a car - and what a sound!

Wow did nobody tell these guys that a 1000km race is a marathon not a sprint! Full send all the way!

First of all; YES !!! Awesome video (i'm just discovering it) Comments are a bit confused on "who and when". I'll try to summarize. This is start of SPA 1000km 1985. Onboard Porsche 962C #1 (Mass-Ickx grid position 6th) passing one by one Lancia LC2 #5 (futur winner) at 0:28; Porsche 956B NewMan #7 at 0:37; Porsche 956B Schiesser #19 (Bellof) at 0:48 and Porsche 962C #2 (Bell-Stuck) at 2:53. Pole Lancia LC2 #4 stays ahead. Check this: www.sonuma.com/archive/accident-mortel-aux-1000-km-de-spa-francorchamps This is Belgian TV report on Bellof's fatal accident. You see clearly cars at the start incl. part of this video. Hope this will help

this must be one of the best videos on KZfaq!!!! awesome!

Real cars and real drivers

Wow - that was.... BRUTAL! Got every muscle in my body tensioned!

Kills bugs fast! Excellent footage! (subscribed) R.I.P., Stefan Bellof

I've not seen this footage before. Talk about great stuff! I might be late to the party but thanks for making this available. This is edge-of-your-seat kinda racing... Love it!!

No traction control, no AWD, no ABS, no sequential gearbox, no paddle shifters, no rev limiter and no simulators to aid training...this was the Golden Age and nearly the end of the era. These cars required maximum ability and focus at all times in order to wring out every last bit of speed and lower your lap times every hundredth of a second possible. This was the time of men and this was the time of machines.

God I wish I lived in the house at La Source.

How exciting, I was leaning into every turn while sitting in my chair watching it! I wish the whole race was recorded I would watch every second.

...da bekommt man vom zuschauen feuchte Hände... unglaublich!

Now thats what you call racing.

I could watch this for hours. Shame that there is not that much footage from inboard cameras in those days.

Wow, he could really drive! Great footage. Love the sounds.

Regardless who is driving in that Video, Bellof or Mass, both were absolutely talented & gifted drivers during their active careers. I wish Stefan could still enjoy his immense popularity as Jochen is doing today. I met Jochen this Year in Stuttgart, an absolutely down to earth guy for which I admire him after all that success. And I will do so even more, if he is the driver behind the wheel in that absolutely stunning clip. Thank you very much for posting.

Some of the best in-car I've seen. Modern racing is not even a patch on this for excitement and atmosphere!

Run little Lancia! What a epic race...

this is what i have been looking for my whole life this video , this 10 minutes 8 seconds of complete and utter madness, the scream of the engine, the blow off valves of the turbo , Jackys car control man handling this beast of a car around the greatest racing circuit in the world Spa Francorchamps . this is what us car freaks live for.

SPA such a beautiful track and beautiful to watch masters of their class, thx for upload

seriously awesome footage

Gotta love that turbo sound!

Absolute raw-on-the-edge driving at Spa.. only the best from Duke video!!

Golden era of sports car racing!

5:15 this downshifting 😍

Spa at the good old Layout. And Look how Close the barrier at fast corners. Wow thanks for Upload

This video is so awesome, I've watched it countless times and it always puts a smile on my face, the cars, sound, circuit and driving are all amazing, just love it 👌

Proper raw racing. Love it. Those guys re giving it some welly

That was fricking AWESOME!!!!! thanks for sharing. I sat in one of the 962 about 2000, amazing machine

Wow 😲 amazing driving! Spa looked so different too back then.

Spectacular footage and mad driving skills.

Awesome film from the early days of the shortened Spa. Sort of a revival of the old days of road racing in appearance and the first few years of the new sports car series had an awesome field of carry overs from the 1960s and new stars. Bellof and Mass going thru E Rouge is mindblowing. A savage few flicks and holds as Mass takes it fast.

Sublime footage, absolutely one my favourite tracks ever

Thank you for the ride sir.

Incredible! These guys were seriously talented and brave.

that awesome turbo in the background sounds amazing :D

Best on board ever. Absolutely ringing the cars neck.

Simply the best video. Stefan was one of the very best but even Ken Tyrrell could not control him. Amazing video ; exit to the Bus Stop - straight at the bloody barriers !! Down hill to Pouhoun (?) unbelievable speed. Group C was beyond EPIC & so were the drivers. Someone bloody good in the Lancia-Ferrari ; Ricardo Patrese maybe ? If it is the Ickxs car then Jackie was epic to ( but we know that surely ? )

Taking that double apex left hander without lifting lap after lap is testament to a fine driver. God I wish I cold take that corner at speed in a Group C car, that would be bucket list shit. A joy to watch, thanks for uploading it.

one the most amazing on board video on you tube, i have so much respect for all that drivers, they had balls as big melons

*Spa-Francorchamps* is such an awesome track... you actually feel like you’re going somewhere unlike all these frelling *Herman Tilke* tracks that are just _”squiggly bit, straight, squiggly bit with a corner _*_inspired_*_ by a good track, straight, squiggly bit...”._

Real men with real balls, driving real cars at a real circuit...

Real men, real cars, real racing!!

Sensational! I am struck by how stable the camera is. The suspension of the Porsche must have been amazing, even cutting inside on the turns, there is no vibration. The track condition looks also to have been quite good. Just an amazing piece of history. To be In this car with this driver, and with the noise - unreal!!!

Look how exciting this is and look how hard Stefan is working to race then look at the inboard footage these days from F1, GT,Touring Cars etc and it shows you how much more exciting the 80's racing in real racing cars was prior to all the electronics taking over.

Wow how cool. I just had the great fortune to meet the legend and his daughter last November so it was cool for youtube to recommend this video. He was before my time so I wasn't really aware of how good he was. That move at 2:53 was set up at the start of the video. He checked the late apex line for grip at the start, got on the gas early and maintained peak TQ through the sweeper dropping him back to keep momentum for that pass (where he took 3 cars the same way on the opening lap). IMO this guy had a plan to take it to his teammate who was obviously great himself and in the same car.

Brilliant footage,thanks

Racing this close & clean has to be an amazing experience

👽Damned best incar I've seen.Thank you.

Thanks for posting this without any music. While watching this I can’t stop thinking that Mass (involved in G. Villeneuve accident) and Ickx (involved in Bellof accident) were in the same car.

Fantastic! Pure raw in-car

These cars are the real toys! Great video.

Amazing to see this footage - the 80s doesn’t feel that old to me but man they were still crazy compared to today’s super safe racing. Spa really wasn’t too different back then cept for Bus Stop

One of my favourite circuits of all time

This is awesome, love this car great driving.

The old bus stop would have been great fun to drive, mad respect for the guys who conquered these beasts, also love the run at 5:34 and the way that the back marker let Mass by before radillon (idk how to spell it 🤦‍♂️)

Esse vídeo é o puro suco do automobilismo, é insano, surreal , incrível ❤

Simply AWESOME

Amazing vid. Thank you

This is just Pure Fantasticness.

Duke !!! THanks !!! this is incredible ! onboard from Stefan Bellof (RIP). only thanks.

Thanks this is my second favorite track,le mans if one.

The way the car is carried into Eaudillon (Eau Rouge-Raidillon) is outstanding!

arguably the best track footage sport-scar racing in existence

Great legendary stuff!

Fantastic just balls out race cars no driver aids then!......and superb footage with legendary driver jochan mass at the wheel!

Spa: insane beauty of a racetrack!

great to see this incar amazing driving in amazing cars.

my absolute favorite cars. Peak of Motorsport

Racers at this level and from this era are truly a special breed. They can’t allow themselves to become preoccupied by it, but they know death is as close by as the tiniest mistake.
