Video description

A John Edwards/Buff film, this documentary following the Rothmans sportscar racing champions’ fight to win the World Endurance Championships in 1984. Narrated by Sir Anthony Quayle. A 1000km race over six hours in several different countries - this film features the races in Japan; Belgium; USA; Australia. The racing driver team consists of Belgian racing icon and champion driver Jacky Ickx; UK champion Derek Bell; and Germans Jochen Mass and young, up-and-coming star, Stefan Bellof (who tragically died in September of the following year, 1985, at the Spa Belgium track). The film’s title comes from Derek Bell saying: 'When the flag drops; the bullshit stops.'
