An evening with Derek Bell
31/5/2018
On Wednesday 16 May, Porsche Centre Reading played host to the UK launch of Derek Bell’s new book ‘Derek Bell – All my Porsche Races’.
As one of motorsport’s best-known and best-loved ambassadors, the event was a fascinating insight to Derek’s illustrious career with Porsche. As a sportscar racer at the highest level, his record is one of the most accomplished of all time. Derek's latest publication looks at every race Bell drove for Porsche and includes revealing comments from the man himself. Light is cast on Bell’s most prestigious victories with Porsche, including four of his five in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, three in the Daytona 24 Hours and two in the World Sportscar Championship.
Porsche Carrera Cup GB Champion and ITV commentator Tim Harvey compèred the evening with the two delving into some key moments from Derek’s career and the Porsche cars he raced, from the fearsome 917 to the iconic 956, 962, and 911.
Guests also had the opportunity to question Derek on all things Porsche and motorsport with a Q&A session and book signing. Complimentary canapés and refreshments were served throughout the night courtesy of Malmaison, who we were delighted to have on board supporting the event.

Sean Wilson, Centre Principal of Porsche Centre Reading, said: “The evening with Derek was a must-see for Porsche and motorsport fanatics. Tim and Derek are two true greats and gents of the sport. Our guests had a fantastic time.”

. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel and energy consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Optional features and accessories can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel or energy consumption and CO₂ values. Vehicle loading, topography, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, energy consumption, electrical range, and CO₂ emissions of a car.
