There wasn't much the incredibly talented Stefan Bellof couldn't do at the wheel of a racing car.
At times, the electrifying young German driver appeared to defy the laws of physics out on a track, often racing on a tight-rope but oblivious of motorsport's perils.
But on this day in 1985, Bellof took a disastrous step over a precarious line.
The 27-year-old was killed racing a Porsche 956 in the Spa 1000 km race when he attempted an impossible move on rival Jacky Ickx at the daunting Eau Rouge corner.
In our book - and we know it's a contentious choice - Stefan Bellof was the best F1 driver never to win a Grand Prix.
