World Sportscar Review 1983 DVD

The mighty Porsche 956 was the class of the field in the 1983 World Sportscar Championship, and the works Rothmans-backed team was the one to be beat. Despite impressive challenges from Lancia Martini and the privately-entered Porsches of Joest, JDavid and Kremer, the down-to-the-wire championship battle would be between works Porsche drivers. The 1983 boasted in impressive driver line-up, including sportscars greats Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, Stefan Bellof, Jochen Mass and many more. Joest showed early promise with victory in the opening round at Monza, but the work Porsche team soon established its dominance, taking victory at every other round. The season-long duel between Icks and Bell came to a dramatic and tension-packed finale at the last round of the season, as rain, spins and crashes kept the outcome in doubt right down to the chequered flag.

This action-packed review features dramatic highlights and interviews with the stars bringing you the full story of the season. Exceptional action footage, including in-car sequences of the Rothmans Porsches, from all seven rounds charts the year-long battle for the driver's title.
