Stefan Bellof remains the only driver ever to have lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under six minutes, setting a 6:11.13 qualifying lap in a Porsche 956 at the 1983 1000km race — a record that stood for 35 years. He died at Spa-Francorchamps in 1985 during a reckless overtaking attempt on Jacky Ickx, aged 27.
