Twenty Seven years ago today I was covering my first 1000 Kilometres of Spa. What should have been a magical experience turned to horror when Stefan Bellof was killed during the race. Bellof was always a bit special to me, what might he have achieved if he had lived? Rest in Peace, Stefan.

I was also there that weekend to witness the European debut of the Jaguar and was spectating at Eau Rouge when this tragic accident unfolded. A very sad day and not forgotten.
