IGT Ambassador Derek Bell
24 Hours of Le MansGrand Marshal
International GT Brand Ambassador, Derek Bell, has been named the Grand Marshal of this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Bell earned his first win at the famed French event in 1975 and went on to take five total victories at the world renowned race.
Bell’s iconic racing career spanned many decades and the member of the FIA Hall of Fame has countless victories in a wide variety of racing machines. Bell began his career with Lotus in 1964 and won his first Formula Three race at Goodwood in 1966. After several promising performances in Formula Two the following year, catching the eye of Enzo Ferrari, he joined the Ferrari F2 team in 1968 and made his Formula One début in the International Gold Cup at Oulton Park.
Bell won his first Le Mans 24 Hours at the wheel of a Gulf Racing Mirage GR8-Ford shared with Ickx. He switched to Renault-Alpine for the 1977 and 1978 races, retiring on both occasions, before returning to winning ways when he renewed his partnership with Ickx in 1981 and ’82 in a works Porsche 936. Over the following years, Bell scored more victories in the 956 and 962 than any other driver. He picked up another two successive Le Mans wins for Porsche in 1986 and ’87 when teamed with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Al Holbert in the 962C. He also won the World Endurance Championship with Stuck in 1985 and alone in 1986. In addition to his Le Mans success, Bell also won the 24 Hours of Daytona three times in four years (1986, 1987, 1989).
Having been both a factory Porsche and factory Ferrari driver Bell represents IGT well. We are proud to have Derek as the Series Brand Ambassador and wish him all the best as he journeys to the world’s best known racing event in August to serve his well-deserved role as Grand Marshal.
