World Champion at the Nürburgring
For the first time, you can marvel at the Stefan-Bellof-Collection: Caps, cups, pendants and superbly made polo shirts with embroideries 6: 11,13 can be seen there; With the lap times referring to the fastest time ever, in which a racing driver ever circumnavigated the Nordschleife: Stefan Bellof, in the final training for the running of the FIA ??World Sports Championship 1983 at the Nürburgring on a Porsche 956 K. A time to write the story Should still provide unbelieving amazement and create a very special connection between the Giessen racing driver and the traditionally rich course in the Eifel. By the way, as we wrote last weekend in this blog, 2017 90th birthday celebrates.
In any case, Stefan Bellof is still present in motorsport circles, not only because of his enormous driving skills, but also by his sympathetic nature, his big heart and contagious laughter as if he were among us. His brother Georg "Goa" Bellof as the licensor of the Stefan-Bellof-Collection has already looked at the shop. The collection also makes its debut on the same weekend at the Grand Prix of Monaco, where the third place of the Giesseners at the Regenrennen 1984 is the focus, to which a fantastic T-shirt is presented. Just as well as ck-modelcars on the Rue Grimaldi, in the center of perhaps the most glamorous event of the Formula 1 every year. We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Nürburgring, as well as in Monaco! The weekend of the 25th to the 28th May 2017 - the race weekend of the year!
