1985 1000 km of Spa

Halfway through the race, defending Drivers Champion Stefan Bellof in the Brun Motorsport Porsche 956 was battling for the race lead with 1982 and 1983 Drivers Champion Jacky Ickx in the Rothmans Porsche 962C.

Ickx led Bellof out of the La Source hairpin and down the front stretch into the Eau Rouge corner, starting the 78th lap of the race.

[3] Ickx, able to climb from his car, attempted to aid safety workers in helping Bellof.

During the caution period, members of the Brun team also arrived to aid in the rescue.

[2] Out of respect for Bellof, the race organisers chose to end the event earlier than planned.
